Postgraduate Support Scheme
Hi, I'm currently applying to study Fashion and Textiles MA at De Montfort University, the same place I studied for my undergraduate.
The university offers a £10,000 bursary as part of the postgraduate support scheme. The only application guidelines I have are to email a 750 word statement and a detailed CV.
I'm unsure whether this means to write a personal statement, and email that as an attachment along with my CV, then include a cover letter in the body of the email. My other option is to make my cover letter my 750 word statement, and then attach my CV to the email.
I wondered if anybody had any advice on how I should do this?

I applied for three PSS scholarships and was offered two. For the ones that required a statement, I wrote about how my experience matched with what the postgrad course I'm applying to covers, how I'd further that study and what my long-term academic goals are and why the scholarship would help me achieve this.
It's probably best to e-mail them for clarification, as the courses I applied for didn't require me to send a CV, but I would personally send the cover letter and CV as one whole document and count the statement as something separate.
EDIT: Just had a look at the website and it does state that the 750 word statement should describe 'how this scholarship could make a difference to your future career. Identify how the bursary will impact on your career choices and how you might envisage using your qualifications, knowledge and experience for public good.'
