How realistic are your chances?

This grant is strictly targeted: it is aimed exclusively at first-year students studying physics and astronomy at a single university who can demonstrate a financial need. This keeps the number of applicants small. If you clearly meet these criteria and can provide evidence of your household income, your chances are good. It is advisable to apply well in advance of the April deadline.
