The Reach Cambridge scholarship essay competition is designed for academically excellent high school students aged between 14 and 18 who would otherwise not be able to attend our summer programs.
What are the prizes?
First Prize:
3 week scholarship prize (awarded to a maximum of 2 students): 100% of the program fee for our 3 week Program 1 (Explorer) in 2017.
Second Prize
2 week scholarship prize (awarded to a maximum of 3 students): 100% of the program fee for either our two week Program 2 (Leader) or our two week Program 3 (Scholar) program in 2017.
Please note that both prizes include all those items ordinarily covered by the program fee. They do not include the cost of flights, or other items which are not ordinarily covered by the program fee. See terms & conditions for further details.
What is the essay question and what else will be taken into consideration?
The essay question for this year’s scholarship competition is:
“What do you think your country could learn from other countries, and what do you think other countries could learn from yours?” N.B.: You are welcome to refer to either your country of birth or your country of residence – whichever you wish to write about.
To craft a good essay requires careful argumentation, clear structure and personality. It is these characteristics that we will look for in judging applicants’ essays. We will also take into account the letter of recommendation supplied by your school.
In order to enter the competition, follow these simple steps to complete a full application by the 1st of December 2016!
