@j_amesmarriott Your brilliant column on Iris Murdoch deserves a mention! Both very funny and very insightful, and as a fellow Murdoch lover in my teens, it hit home - a peculiar author of the fantasy genre 😃

@si_rubinstein Yes but the Gates scholarship applications aren’t assessed only on academic merit - it’s also about leadership potential, interest in improving society etc. The application basically invites you to talk about your “journey”. Certainly an American development - but they’re paying!
