Participant's story
The participant said:
“I really wanted to make something of myself and wanted to be the only person in my birth family to go to university and have a good career.
"Without it (the bursary) I would not have been able to fully pay my tuition fees. It has made my life so much easier and reduced my stress and money worries when it came to tuition fees.”
