I was awarded the LJMU Community Excellence Scholarship based on my work with arts in the community. I used my videography skills to raise money for charity, making several fundraisers and generally got involved in as much community work within the arts as I could. Don’t hesitate to apply for scholarship - it’s definitely made life easier, it gives you a safety net and just takes some of the pressure off.
