Herbert Smith Freehills Networked Scholarship Scheme

11 Jun Herbert Smith Freehills Networked Scholarship Scheme

I would like to present Reece in Year 12 who is our newest Herbert Smith Freehills Scholar. Reece has succeeded in gaining 1 of 5 places for young people in London to be mentored for 5 years within the Herbert Smith Freehills law firm in the City of London.  In February, 10 of our students (Rodrigo, Leonardo, Daniel, Kevinas, Lyaba, Annabelle, Kanya, Michael, Oluomachi and Reece) joined HSF for a virtual careers day and were then allowed to apply for the scholarship scheme.  Rodrigo and Reece were both selected for a virtual assessment after impressing the judging panel at interview and Reece was told on Monday that he would be recruited for the 2021 cohort.

We are absolutely delighted for Reece and wish him all the best in this endeavour.  I would also like to share that HSF were highly complimentary of all of our students who participated in the careers day and who interviewed for the scheme.  They said what an outstanding group of young people they were and how enjoyable it was to interview them all.
