2. Get prepared
Read through the application form for each scholarship you’re applying for to get a good understanding of the information and supporting documents you’ll need to submit. All supporting documents should be submitted with your application.
3. Start your application early
The application form can be saved, so we’d suggest that you start working on your applications sooner rather than later, coming back to them as needed. Don’t leave it until the last minute!
4. Get a second pair of eyes
Once you’ve completed the application form(s), ask a trusted family member, teacher or careers advisor to review your application.
5. Hit the submit button
Make any finishing touches needed, submit your application and give yourself a big pat on the back. You’ve taken the first step!
6. Attend an interview
If you’ve made it onto the shortlist, we’ll be in touch to arrange an interview (either in person or via Zoom) so we can get to know you and answer any questions you have.
