"What my Â鶹´«Ã½ experience has done for me is to always push me to seek diverse perspectives and diverse approaches to an issue. Now, living in New York, every day of my life i’m surrounded by people from all over the globe. That, for me, has been truly life-changing."

"Being awarded a Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholarship has afforded me an opportunity to showcase the importance of support. Yes hard work ‘can’ pay off, yes socio-economic barriers continue to be almost impermeable – but there are people within society that facilitate opportunity, not just by what they are afforded to ‘materially offer’, but the manner in which they support and humanise you."

"Â鶹´«Ã½ completely changed my life. Where I’m from people don’t go to university, let alone pursue a masters... It would not have been possible for me to come to the US without my Â鶹´«Ã½, but the people I have met through it, the family I have found, the support and guidance – is invaluable."
