How afraid should I be of rejection if I’m a physics student with a transcript of record that is not too impressive? I don’t have remotely enough funds to pay for the course beyond transport and stay. But I am interested on an intellectual level in the content of the course.
Edit: I took a chance and applied. So far I wish more application processes were like this.
I had my initial interview (though not the one for aid) and I didn’t get the impression that they’d ask for a transcript. In fact, it hadn’t even occurred to me.
I’m just usually wary of applying to scholarships (within Europe) since generally recipients of scholarships tend to have unusually high academic achievements with no space to mellow out in their lifes. Free time to explore the mind was and is more important to me than abnormal academic achievement so there’s that.

Not very, I don’t think.
