HKF Awards Announced!
Winning the bursary has given Leticia the opportunity to make her
dream of becoming a doctor a reality. Leticia explained: “I was so
pleased to be chosen as the College’s nominee, but I never expected
that I would be picked by the Helena Kennedy Foundation.” Leticia
accepted a place at Bradford University on the Foundation Degree in
Science and hopes to go on to medical school to specialise in
Cardiology.
Leticia continued: “Me being put forward by the College for this award, and then winning it, has brought real happiness to my mum. It proves to her that people do care about things that happen to others. From the minute I started at Bradford College I had so much support, especially in terms of language. I am very grateful!”
The Helena Kennedy Foundation was established in 1998 to provide bursaries to enable deserving FE students to fulfil their potential in HE, and then employment despite modest or difficult backgrounds. To date, HKF has helped more than three hundred students, from over 180 FE sector Colleges’ progress to and graduate from University.
Nominee’s picked by the Helena Kennedy Foundation to accept an award will receive a £1000 bursary to support their progression into HE. The lucky award winner will also be offered on-going personalised support throughout their time at College and beyond. To find out more about the award - and how to enter, visit the Helena Kennedy Foundation website: www.hkf.org.uk.
