Year 13 Networked Scholarship @ HSF LLP

22 Sep Year 13 Networked Scholarship @ HSF LLP

Every year we are fortunate to be invited to be part of the Herbert Smith Freehills Networked Scholarship Scheme. Five Year 12 students are selected to attend two workshops at this prestigious law firm’s London offices.  They have the opportunity to apply for the scholarship and, if successful, embark on a five year support programme whilst they complete their A levels, move onto university and ultimately get help to network to get their first step onto the employment ladder.  Students from eight different London based schools compete for five scholarship places during May/June Year 12.  The scholarship launch takes place in the September of the students’ Year 13.

I was privileged enough to be invited by Joe Chilton-Booth, 13C, to be his guest at the 2017 Cohort Launch at the start of September. Joe was successful in his application and interview and won a scholarship place.  We are immensely proud of this achievement as it means he will have a three week internship during Summer 2018, probably have a business trip to Paris with the firm and also get the opportunity to present a pitch, to one of HSF’s top clients, quite possibly Goldman Sachs.
