durham undergraduate scholarship - help

hello, is anyone else applying for the durham undergraduate scholarship - see attached link https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/scholarships/international/durham-inspiring-excellence-scholarships/

the scholarship requires me to answer the following 3 questions -

1. Outline how studying the chosen programme at Durham will help you achieve your personal and career goals in the future (300 words maximum)

2. Describe a significant achievement in your student life or in your working career to date and explain the impact it had (300 words maximum)

3. What makes you a strong candidate for this scholarship, and how could you make a positive impact on both in the university and the wider community at Durham? (300 words maximum)

has anyone gotten this scholarship before? if so i'd greatly appreciate your advice on how to approach these questions + how the scholarship works in general.

i'm not expecting a lot of, if any, responses but i just thought i'd put this out there just in case someone wants to help!

Hello!

This scholarship is a new initiative at the university to expand access for excellent international students to come to the university so unfortunately you're one of the first people applying!

Although I can't provide any specific advise for this specific scholarship, in general put your best foot forward. Show your best achievements, what you have provably done and how you can make real impact.

Hope you get it! Good luck!

I applied for the same scholarship but for postgrads. It says in the application that they will announce the results in February. Have you heard back from them?
