WWW,
I hope that "those who have already committed themselves in a significant manner" isn't purely a financial commitment. If this was the case, the grants would be given to people who have already undertaken the modular route.
I'm currently saving for an ab initio course working in a job that I hate. When I eventually start I'll have huge debts and taken the major decision to change career, but how can someone in this situation prove a significant commitment?
I'm not putting this case forward for myself, I imagine I'll have started my course before this scheme takes off. Just don't forget ab initio hopefuls who struggle and take at least as large a risk as those who undertake the modular route.
I haven't seen any information about making a donation to Wannabees, maybe it could be placed at the top of the forum pages? There's a crisp 20 waiting in my pocket.....
