After seven months of
applications, optimistic checking of email inboxes, whittling down and short
listing, the TARGETcourses bursary competition has finally announced its
winners.
The competition, which
ran for seven months and closed in May, has recently given six individuals
pursuing postgraduate study £2,000 towards their tuition fees. From a variety
of degree disciplines, our winners are now telling us what this means to them
and how they are putting the bursary to good use.
Here they are:
Stephanie Loria who applied to study an MA in art business at Sotheby’s Institute of Art said “The
bursary I received from TARGETcourses has made an immense impact on my ability
to pay for school. I now have enough money from my own savings over the past
year to comfortably pay for room and board because of the assistance I received
with my tuition.”
Lalitha Bhagavatheeswaran is going to
the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine to study for an MSc in public
health. She said: “It has been fairly difficult to secure bursaries and
grants. Although I am getting a student loan from the Canadian government and a
bank loan to complete my studies, these do come with interest payments. I have
applied to numerous other scholarship opportunities, but competition has been
high. There are many qualified students who also demonstrate financial need
from all over the world, who may not even have the opportunity to obtain student
loans.”
Thomas Crellen was delighted to have won the TARGETcourses bursary competition and
said that living and studying in London
Hannah Wright said that “This extremely
generous TARGETcourses bursary will make a very significant difference to my
ability to fully commit my time and focus to my postgraduate studies. The
direct support with tuition fees will also enable a greater ability to make
choices and take advantage of any opportunities for learning and development. I
believe that these benefits will remain clear even once I have finished the
course, as being able to make the most of my postgraduate studies will
facilitate the greatest chance to discover and pursue an exciting and rewarding
career.” Hannah is going to study an MSc in sustainable agriculture at Lancaster University
Hannah Smith won a TARGETcourses
bursary to study at Swansea University
We at
TARGETcourses hope that this years’ bursary winners go on to have successful
careers and wish them the best in their studies.
