No work exp: what should I put on my CV?

I’m applying for London 2021 spring weeks (non/semi target uni) using the M&I IB template for my resume. I have no formal work experience but a ton of motorsport related volunteering and decent leadership exp in school. Should I keep these in the “work and leadership exp”? Should I elaborate on them completely since it’s basically the main part of my resume?

I am one of 5 intl students who got a 30% scholarship (the biggest), how much does that help?

Also, how fucked am I having just started the SW process? I’m decent with numericals but know fuck all about behavioural questions

urgent help required @Pan European Monkey" n @English Hardo" 

Thanks in advance

Gotta start somewhere. Can put "unformal" work experience to begin if you think it makes sense as part of your story to discuss and fill up the page

Money can purchase freedom, if you have the guts to buy it
