Testimonial
“The scholarship has helped me pay for childcare and given me more time to study, which has been a huge weight off my mind! I’ve also used some of the money to buy a bike, so I can commute to the University and my clinical placements.”
Jenni Shipp, BSc (Hons) Midwifery (Registered Midwife) student
