‘Going to university had always been a big dream of mine, but coming from a low-income single-parent household, the idea of pursuing higher education was overwhelming. Nevertheless I was determined to look at what help was out there. The scholarship is incredible as it covers my full tuition fees and living expenses and also includes internships and mentoring. It has changed my life in countless ways.’
