What does being awarded a scholarship mean to you?
Jawad Razzaq Khan
Exhibition Scholarship:
“Being awarded this scholarship has significantly alleviated my financial concerns regarding the Bar course, allowing me to fully focus on my studies without the burden of financial stress. Beyond the financial support, it has also opened valuable opportunities to connect and engage with accomplished students and professionals, enriching both my academic and professional development.”
Christopher Clocchiatti
Exhibition Scholarship:
“For me, it represents a recognition of my progress so far towards the Bar, but also an invaluable encouragement to continue. In a way, it’s the first real mountain to climb on what can be a very long way to becoming a barrister.”
Myria Antony
Exhibition Scholarship:
“As a career changer, this scholarship validates my leap of faith into the law. As someone from a non-traditional background who did not grow up in this country, I have often felt like an outsider on this journey. Knowing that a panel of experienced barristers believed in my potential transformed how I saw myself and how I performed in pupillage interviews. This means that someone like me can belong at the Bar. For that, I will always be grateful to The Inner Temple.”
What was your experience of the application process?
Vian Saggo
Major Scholarship:
“The Inner Temple scholarship process was an exceptionally thoughtful and supportive experience throughout. The application form was rigorously designed, affording me, as a candidate, the space to reflect not only on my achievements but also on the challenges I had encountered along the way and how I had grown through them. It served as a welcome reminder that the Inn values the journey as much as the destination.”
Eleanor May
Exhibition Scholarship:
“I felt that the process was incredibly transparent. I got the impression that Inner wanted us all to do well and made a huge effort to make the process as clear as possible. The webinars with Georgina, both about the written application and the interviews with previous scholars, were incredibly helpful. It meant I felt confident in the application process, meaning I could put my best foot forward.”
Max Linton
Major Scholarship:
“It was a smooth and seamless process. I was always kept informed and was given all the information anyone in an applicant’s shoes would need to succeed.”
What was your experience of the scholarship interview?
Megan Bradley
Peter Taylor Scholarship:
“I enjoyed the interview more than I thought I would! The day felt very organised, from the pre-interview briefing to the end of the interview. There are no surprises, and it seems to be structured to get the best out of applicants. The panellists were encouraging and welcoming, and wanted to know what I had to say.”
Jemma Jenkins-Ferrett
Exhibition Scholarship:
“The interview format was well communicated and the selection criteria was transparent. Moreover, the interview panel were encouraging and friendly, which made the whole process much less anxiety-inducing than I had expected.”
Tialani Chauhan
Exhibition Scholarship:
“The interview process was straightforward, despite being a naturally intimidating event. Once I got into the interview room, it became clear that the interviewers were there to help me show the best of myself, and I enjoyed discussing topics I am passionate about and being challenged on my legal analysis.”
Do you have any tips for future candidates?
Mali Pink
Princess Royal Scholarship:
“The only way to be certain you will not receive a scholarship is by not applying. Feeling daunted is natural; it indicates that you care. However, you should not let self-doubt hamper your potential. If a career at the Bar is truly what you want, your drive and sincerity will come through. Make full use of the various webinars and resources offered by the Inn to support you. If you are consistent and organised, the process is manageable and, dare I say, enjoyable.”
Barnaby Burrowes
Exhibition Scholarship:
“Engage with every bit of advice you can find, double-check all the information so you are not caught out and relax. Everyone wants you to do well!”
Max Linton
Major Scholarship:
“Although it may sound obvious, constantly think about the scholarship criteria. Every answer in your application and interview should be made with the aim of demonstrating at least one of those different criteria.”
