Full details will be confirmed in your scholarship offer.
Who is eligible to apply for a scholarship?
Eligibility varies by scholarship. General requirements include commitment to your course, clear career aspirations and readiness for study. Some scholarships also have specific location, citizenship or age requirements. The Digital Student Ambassador Scholarship is open to UK, EU and international applicants who can commit to producing consistent, engaging video content during their course.
When will I know if my application has been successful and what happens next?
Scholarship decisions are issued within three days of application. Along with your Conditional Scholarship Place Offer you will receive an invoice for a £500 deposit, (payable within 5 days to secure your Scholarship course place). Your remaining fees, or your first scheduled payment if you are eligible for a payment plan, will be due according to the payment terms confirmed in your scholarship offer.
How competitive are the scholarships?
Scholarships are competitive and merit-based. They are awarded based on the strength of your application and how well you demonstrate commitment, potential and readiness for study in events. Some scholarships are limited in number and may close once all places have been allocated.
What should I include in my personal statement?
Your personal statement should briefly explain your motivation for studying events, your career goals and why you believe you are a strong candidate for the scholarship. Focus on clarity, passion, commitment and your enthusiasm for the field.
Do I need specific academic qualifications to apply?
