Fresh Scholarships is not a listings site. It is an editorial platform built around people who understand how scholarships actually work who gets funded, why applications fail, and what students need to plan for beyond acceptance letters.
Every article published on FreshScholarships.com is written by a named contributor with a defined area of expertise. Our authors are not generic writers. Each one focuses on a specific part of the student journey: funding reality, applications, policy, or student life.
This page exists for one reason: transparency.
You should know exactly who is guiding you and why their advice is worth trusting.
How Our Editorial Model Works
Fresh Scholarships follows a role-based authorship model. Each contributor writes only within their expertise. Content is reviewed for factual accuracy, funding honesty, and real-world feasibility before publication.
What this means for readers:
- No exaggerated claims about “guaranteed” scholarships
- Clear distinction between fully funded, partially funded, and self-funded programs
- Honest explanations of competition levels, eligibility limits, and timelines
- Guidance that reflects real application systems, not marketing copy
Each author profile below outlines their background, focus areas, and the type of guidance they provide.
Andrew Wiles – Senior Academic & Funding Advisor
Andrew Wiles
Andrew Wiles focuses on the part of the process most students misunderstand: funding reality.
With more than 15 years of experience advising students on postgraduate, PhD, and research funding pathways, Andrew’s work centers on how scholarships are structured, how selection committees think, and where applicants lose points without realizing it.
He does not write motivational content. He writes planning guides.
Andrew’s articles explain how fellowships differ from degree programs, how stipends are calculated, why some “fully funded” offers still leave financial gaps, and how research proposals are evaluated in competitive environments.
Expertise Areas
- Fully funded and partially funded PhD programs
- Postgraduate scholarships and fellowships
- Research grants and academic mobility funding
- Application timelines and eligibility filtering
- Visa and immigration considerations tied to funding
What Andrew Covers on Fresh Scholarships
Andrew’s content is aimed at students who are serious about long-term academic paths. His guides help readers decide whether they are ready to apply now, need another year of preparation, or should consider alternative routes.
He frequently breaks down:
- Why strong grades alone are not enough for PhD funding
- How selection panels assess research alignment
- When fellowships make more sense than degree programs
- What rejection patterns actually mean
If a scholarship requires strategic planning, Andrew is the voice behind it.

Clare Wiles works at the point where most applications fail: communication.

- How to match essays to different countries and systems
Her tone is supportive but realistic. The goal is not to impress. The goal is to be understood.
