Can you help our students?
The library is full. Coffee is being consumed by the gallon. Dreams are warped by dancing books and endless calculations. It can only mean one thing...exams!
You can help relieve the financial stress which goes alongside the usual exam worry for many students like David, who told us: "I'd like to say a big thank you for funding my scholarship. It's made a huge difference to me, and helped me to focus on my studies and my future. It's a really good feeling to know that someone realises the effort that students put into their work - when I see people working late into the night in the library it's encouraging to know that your help is inspiring them. By investing in their time here, they will ultimately become better people." You can give online here or contact us to find out more. Thank you!
