I got my results today, 30% which I'm obviously happy about because its way better than nothing and I can say that I actually won something for once lol. Plus, I personally think my essay was really good but I know I wasn't gonna get the 100% scholarship. I can't afford it so not going to go but hey its something. I explained to my mum what it is and she got so excited haha, I didn't want to tell her its a scam

What subject did you do it in?
Also, I'd recommend checking out some other essay competitions ran by universities as opposed to companies. Oxbridge colleges have some really great essay competitions for example.

In my opinion, it doesn't hurt to have a go at it even if you're doubting yourself! It's a good opportunity to showcase your knowledge, and develop your essay-writing skills :smile:

The competition is free to enter as well, so all that it takes is your time and effort, but if you're willing to devote yourself to that, you have nothing to lose!
