Not having any academic scholarships or prizes isn’t a disadvantage when it comes to training contract applications. I just wouldn't overestimate the importance of things like awards, one or two weaker grades, or even a lack of legal work experience. In reality, these tend not to be the deciding factors. Firms know that candidates come from a wide range of backgrounds. I've said this before, and I'll keep saying this until the cows come home: What really moves the needle is the quality of your application; how well you’ve researched the firm, how clearly and persuasively you explain your motivations, and whether you avoid the common pitfalls (like generic answers and overused clichés). Please don’t worry at all about any lack of academic prizes. Just focus your energy on putting together a strong application that shows you understand what the firm does, what makes it different, and why you’d be a great fit.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
