RTS Bursary Scheme 2024

“I know first-hand how difficult this industry is to break into”: Q&A with AJ Odudu, RTS Bursary Scheme Ambassador

AJ Odudu

The Scheme is all about channelling new voices from low-income backgrounds and championing underrepresented talent, in the hopes that one day they too might be asking Big Brother contestants not to swear on live TV.

As an Ambassador, AJ will be meeting and mentoring bursary scholars, as well as attending bursaries events. But in the meantime we spoke to AJ to learn more about her TV journey, from runner to primetime presenter via the call centre, and to find out why getting involved in the Scheme is so important to her.
