The Salters' Fellowship

To help us to get to know you, we'll ask you for a personal statement of 4,000 characters explaining:

Why the scholarship would be beneficial to your studies

How it would help you to achieve your academic and career goals

How your education would be of future benefit to your community and/or society

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're keen to hear your personal story.
