Think Big scholarship applications for 2023 entry are now open for undergraduate and postgraduate applicants.
There are two application forms: one for postgraduate applicants and one for undergraduate applicants. Make sure you fill out the relevant form.
There is not a save function, so you will need to complete the application form in one session. Once you select ‘submit’ this is final, and you will not be able to make any changes.
You will receive an email to confirm we have received your application. If you do not receive this, make sure to check your junk or spam folder.
If you are completing the form on a smartphone you may need to turn your phone to landscape to see all the text.
