When is the best time to apply for a scholarship?

Hi everyone, I'm interested in applying for Cardiff Sixth Form College (halfway through doing GCSEs right now) and I was wondering when is the best time to apply for a scholarship? And also, what type of scholarship has the best chance of being accepted? My main three options are: academics, music and art. Thanks :smile:

Ahh I see, it's just that on the website it says that they don't accept GCSE students for scholarship so I was confused. Did you apply for CSFC too?

Yes I did. However there was a waiting list and limited spots.

Hmm, what Year were you in when you applied? Sorry, I'm quite new to this, I came here since I was getting nothing out of Google. I'm going into Year 11 now, does that mean I could apply for csfc now and if I do get in, apply for scholarship. OR do both at once? T-T

Talk to them now, call them and see whats up. Im going into year 12 but before I told them this they said that year 11 and 13 were looking packed. If you're one in a million student and you can really prove yourself then they will make space for you, wish you the best :smile:
