University of Bath Gold Scholarship Programme

Hi there!

I'm currently working on my application for the Gold Scholarship Programme and feeling a bit anxious and a little overwhelmed with the questions and how exactly to answer them. The writing prompts offered have helped, but I'm struggling to gauge how 'personal' I should make it. I know that probably sounds silly, but I am wondering if I should talk about my background and the struggles I have/had and how to incorporate them into my answers. I hope this makes sense.

If anyone who is currently a Gold Scholar could help, I would be very grateful! Thanks

I think the it is super important that your answers are authentic to you It is also important link clearly why what you are sharing is relevant.

Have you read this blog posts by scholars - they seem very honest and talk about personal challenges including mental health.
