With the GoStudent Future of Education Report 2024 finding that 37% of UK students do not believe school alone is teaching them the skills they need to pursue their dream career, the aim of the scholarship is to help students gain additional knowledge and expertise as they strive to secure their dream job. Empowering A Brighter Future Through Education In today’s rapidly evolving world, students’ career aspirations are diverse and ambitious – with pioneering new roles that rely on AI and VR just as appealing as traditional professions like healthcare. No matter their goal, students are united in their desire to drive positive change: The GoStudent Future of Education Report found that 66% of UK students want to act for a more sustainable and inclusive society. Felix Ohswald, CEO and Co-founder of GoStudent comments “I truly believe that education is the most valuable tool in a person’s arsenal. Students today are passionate, driven and care deeply about the world around them. Through our scholarship programme we want to support them in achieving their ambitions. With the right guidance, every child has the potential to turn their dreams into reality.” The GoStudent scholarship provides a unique opportunity for students to receive personalised online tutoring from one of the platform’s +23,000 expert tutors. Each scholarship will cover six months of one-to-one tutoring, tailored to the individual needs and goals of the student. How to Apply Students who wish to apply for one of the 50 GoStudent Scholarships can do so by visiting the GoStudent website and completing a simple application form by October 7th 2024. Applicants are asked to share their dream job and explain how personalised tutoring can help them achieve their goals. The process is quick, easy, and open to students aged under 18 and currently in full-time education. An Experienced Jury The UK scholarship recipients will be selected by a passionate three-member jury, including Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent, alongside Michael McKoy, former schoolteacher and GoStudent’s UK Tutor of the Year, and Mya Medina, Regional Head of Customer and Tutor Operations at GoStudent. Together, they will evaluate the applications and select winning students based on three criteria: articulation of the dream, the impact tutoring support will have, and the level of passion conveyed. Speaking on her participation, Mya Medina, Regional Head of Customer and Tutor Operations at GoStudent, comments: “I am very excited to join our judging panel to help identify students who will thrive from additional educational support. Education is a powerful tool that unlocks doors to a brighter future and opens pathways to success.” Michael McKoy, Gostudent’s UK Tutor of the Year, adds: “I believe the scholarship represents a deeply inspiring opportunity to make a significant difference in the life of a child.
