The prize is an incentive for high achieving students to pursue their chosen subject and have the best possible opportunities to study at the best universities.   

This year, we are delighted to award prizes of £3,000 in subjects such as science, technology, engineering, maths, the humanities, arts and sports. Applicants must meet the following criteria:
– Minimum of 3 A grades at A-level
– Offer from an academic institution which is regarded as excellent in the chosen field of study
– A track record of community/voluntary work or have made a significant contribution to your community.
