To help us get to know you, we will ask you for two short personal statements of up to 4,000 characters. Statement one asks you:

• Why the scholarship would be beneficial to your studies
• What achievements, academically and personally, are you most proud of? This could include overcoming a challenging personal circumstance. There is no right or wrong answer, we are keen to hear your personal story

You must meet all of the following criteria to be considered for a scholarship:
