Activia Training UK Scholarship For International Students

About the Scholarship



So, we've had a think, and we are pleased to offer a £1,000 annual scholarship for college and university students in the UK. There is no specific course of study required, and you can use the money in whatever way that you feel benefits your studies the most.

There will be two scholarship awards of £500 each year, running to May and November, as follows:

TWO video winners will EACH receive £165
TWO blog article winners will EACH receive £85

Furthermore, all entries adjudged to be of a suitable standard will be eligible for a runner up award as follows:

YouTube videos: £15
Blog articles: £10

Only one entry per student, per award period, is permitted.

Eligibility



To be eligible for this scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:

You must be attending, or have secured a place, on an undergraduate or postgraduate programme at a recognized higher learning institution in the UK
At least 16 years of age

You give us permission to publish the following if you are a winner or submit an entry of special merit:

Your name
Your area of residence (not your full address)
Your entry

You must also have a bank or similar account (PayPal is great) into which we can pay funds electronically.
For reasons of safe transmission we do not send out cheques through the post.
