A young woman has become one of only three UK students to win a prestigious university scholarship. Hana Khan, 18, from Slough, who is completing her A levels at Baylis Court School, has won a place and a financial-aid package to study at the University of North Carolina. Competition for the scholarship was fierce. Hana was amongst the 1,000 students who applied for the Sutton Trust US programme, out of which only 150 were selected. This program gathered together the best and brightest UK pupils for an 18-month programme exploring US higher education, and helping students apply to US universities. Out of these 150, only three were awarded the Morehead-Cain scholarship, of which Hana is the only state-school pupil.
