About the programme
A sixth form scholarship interview considers more than grades. The selection panel looks for academic promise, clear reasons for your chosen subjects and evidence that you will use the opportunity responsibly while making a positive contribution to school life.
How to prepare
- Read the official scholarship information and confirm the current selection criteria and conditions.
- Prepare an example of intellectual curiosity that goes beyond completing assigned work.
- Identify specific contributions you could sustain without overcommitting yourself.
- Reflect on a weaker result or setback and the practical change you made afterwards.
- Plan a direct explanation of why this opportunity matters to your education.
Common mistakes
- Assuming high marks alone explain why you should receive the award.
- Listing many activities without explaining your actual contribution.
- Making promises about school service that would not fit alongside demanding study.
- Giving a rehearsed answer that says little about your own interests or growth.
