Whay are you asking others if you should follow your dream? Go for it! You don't ask, you don't get! Best of luck!

"I'm competitive for studentships"

me too.

I don't think age has much to do with funding applications, so if you want it, go for it.

Of course you're not too old - I'm older than you! Not that I was successful this year lol, but everyone has the same chance and actually mature students statistically get more funding than younger students so I wouldn't worry. Go for it!

I don`t think age is a matter. It`s actually more a problem of having experience in the field and having published ;-)
Best luck !
