Lara, 3rd year Biomedical Science student at Exeter

Being awarded this Scholarship made me feel recognised and praised for all of my hard work in 6th form.

It also made me feel relief as university resources like books can be expensive, so I was very thankful to get some help.

The scholarship has helped me afford books necessary for my studies and still live comfortably. I study BSc Medical Sciences, so books are not cheap!

One of the most expensive books I have bought with it is Cellular and Molecular Immunology which cost £71.99.

After graduating, I would like to do a master’s in Conservation and Biodiversity at the Penryn campus, University of Exeter.

My piece of advice for a student like myself just about to start at university would be to try everything and do not be afraid! Join societies, attend socials, talk to your flatmates, sit next to and talk to random people in your lectures and seminars – it will help you make friends for life!
