Sporting Talent Scholar 2021/22 & 2022/23
‘The Sporting Talent Scholarship has been a huge help in helping me acheive my ambitions, both sporting and academically and I am so incredibly grateful for the difference it made.
It took the pressure off having to balance study, training and a part-time job, meaning I could cut down on my work hours at key times to study and train."

Subway Scholar 2022/23
“If I could quantify the amount of relief I have felt from this funding, I would. No words could describe my gratitude.
With the funds I was able to pay for monthly subscription for the internet meaning I was able to do some assignments from home.
Thank you to the donors.”
Chelsea Graham
Barnett Pharmaceuticals Biosciences Scholar
“Receiving the Barnett Pharmaceutical Biosciences Scholarship in my first year of undergraduate studies was a big confidence boost and gave me the motivation to strive for more and be deserving of the award.
It has helped to fund my first-year tuition fees which eased the pressure of maintaining full time employment alongside studies. The scholarship has allowed me to experience the very best from university and has broadened the scope for future opportunities.”
Glen Armstrong
Liam Kelly Scholar
“The Scholarship gave a degree of economic freedom at first, but in time it was a life-changing catalyst. It allowed me to reduce my hours at work, so I put the extra time into my studies. There was an immediate positive impact on my grades, but the real impact came later. Armed with a prestigious LLB scholarship, I applied for jobs at law firms in Belfast. I received three job offers.
Each potential employer mentioned that they were impressed by the fact that I had excelled in my studies and that this had been recognised with an award.”
