Mentors and partners
Every episode has a guest. Most guides come from a contributor. They are current scholars, alumni of the schemes we cover, and people who have sat on selection panels.
We ask them for specifics. The essay that worked. The referee they picked and why. The question the panel actually asked.
Contribute
Won a scholarship we cover? Sat on a selection panel? We would like to hear from you.
