Hey guys,

As part of the first stage of the application, I'm asked to answer: "Please give details of any prizes, awards or stipends etc. you have won or been granted, numbering them 1 to 5 (you need not include your degree here)."

I only have 2 prizes/awards in the traditional sense of the word - could its definition be stretched? I've been 'awarded' a certificate for completing a diploma in a musical instrument, and achieved a place on two competitive mentoring schemes. Would this count?

Any insight or guidance regarding this question would be tip top.

Thank you,

Kushal
