Why I Deserve A Scholarship

I am a dedicated, passionate, creative person. I am interested in learning more about different cultures and helping people when I can. My hobbies include drawing, filmmaking and researching the 1960s. Indian culture played a very big part in late 60s trends so I want to take this opportunity to learn about the country first hand, as well as giving back to the community.

I am different from others as I have both a political and creative viewpoint of the world, through the A-levels I take: art, graphic design and politics. This unique perspective means I can appreciate the creative outlets of a country as well as the political policies that could be introduced to help others.

I have contributed to my community through participating in NCS where I volunteered at a community centre by helping tidy up the gardens. I have also contributed to my community

I am also looking forward to bringing my leadership, teamwork and organization skills to the trip. Both of which I exercised when my partner and I won the Radio 1 x V&A Graphic Gathering competition. I had to use collaborative skills and work to a set task which are skills I think I can also bring to the trip.

I can gain a lot from this trip, including experiencing a different culture as well as contributing to helping the lives of others. So often we feel we should do something to help others or wish we could and this experience will give me a chance to help others directly. It's a rare opportunity and will give me the confidence to know that I can push myself and I can make a difference.

I will you continue to make a difference when I get home by sharing my experiences online to educate others about the troubles in the world and what they can do to help. I think what I experience will boost my confidence and influence my artwork. This is something I will carry with me for the rest of my
