"A year ago, before applying for this scholarship, I never imagined what a significant impact it would make on my life.  By the time I submitted my entry I had improved my knowledge of China, interviewed the former US ambassador to the EU, and enjoyed a coffee in London with an exiled high commissioner.  The scholarship is an amazing opportunity for students to open their minds and experience real world initiatives."
