I'll get James on the case Za!

Daniel Bond

Hi Za, that sounds like a great idea

4:42

how many sentences roughly should the application form statement be?

4:42

if Leeds is not my 1st choice - can I apply for scholarships?

4:43

HI! do you think I should wait till I get an offer/rejection from Leeds before I apply for a scholarship or should I apply anyway whilst I have some spare time right now?

Daniel Bond

4:44

Hi T, its open ended, but try and be precise. The statement is not about your academic achievements or extra curricular activity, it is more to back up things you have stated, such as if you are a carer, a care leaver or have had circumstances that have affected your studies.

Hi F, yes you can still apply. Applications are open now!

4:45

K -apply now. Sooner the better!

15 minutes to go! Get your questions in :)

4:49

are you considered eligible if one year of your course is funded by the nhs?

Daniel Bond

4:49

Hi K, for these scholarships you must be on on a full-time non-NHS/NHSBSA funded undergraduate degree course at the University of Leeds. Full criteria can be found here: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/info/130532/scholarships__personal_circumstance...

4:53

would dentistry/medicine be a full time non-NHS funded course if only the last year is funded?

Daniel Bond

4:55

Hi K, the scholarships are for three years, so if those three years are not funded by the NHS, you would be eligible to apply. :)
