Good luck to all this year's applicants
But please remember that an inn scholarship is not the be all and end all for your career. While not being awarded a scholarship can be discouraging, please don't be put off this amazing path.

Don't forget the provider scholarships and hardship funds that are available. Find out about the deadlines and processes now, so that you don't miss your chance. 2/5

If financing is essential (and for many that is the major barrier) consider doing the course part time to finance yourself through the year and spread the costs of the course over a longer period. Plus you can apply for scholarships again in the 2nd year! 3/5

Perhaps this wasn't your year. There is nothing stopping you from applying again next year (I believe to a different inn if you haven't joined the inn you applied to). Use the year out to strengthen your application, be it work, further studies, or something else entirely! 4/5

Scholarships are important, but they do not define you, nor your prospects of success.
I wish every one of you the best of luck, double luck for @TheInnerTemple applicants naturally. Keep an eye out for mock interviews in 2021. There'll be lots of lovely people offering help. 5/5
