<p class="MsoNormal">Dear ECS UKESF Scholars,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You should shortly be receiving the email below (once it’s approved by the moderators) about the 2020/21 UKESF scholarship scheme.<o:p></o:p></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4">ECS does fantastically from the UKESF scheme, as you are all a testament to. I’m concerned that it’s going to be a lot harder to reach students this year, as I’m not physically standing
at the front of a lecture theatre getting their attention. Please could I ask you to all do anything that you can to spread the word – whether it’s different ways of reaching the students (e.g. other groups you’re a member of), or via personal connections
that you have with friends.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4">Also, if you’re available, please could you join the Teams session next Wednesday afternoon (link in the email below). You probably attended one of these when you were applying, and
having successful scholars there to provide input, talk about their experiences, and answer questions, is incredibly valuable.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
