"Winning a scholarship from the Student Potential Fund has taught me a lot of things as well as helping me achieve my goals. Coming to university, I had one mindset; to pass and get a job afterwards. However, upon receiving funding, I gained the confidence to apply for other opportunities. I am now a Student Ambassador, Course Rep and I won Course Rep of the Year. I also participated in the Wellbeing Champions program. None of which would have been possible if not for the support I received."
"With industry experience and the expertise that I have available for my final year, I am at a great advantage to my peers who have not taken a placement or summer internship. My time management and planning skills have also improved, not to mention my growth as a developer armed now with new design principles and languages. I want to say a huge thank you once again for the experience during my internship and final year at university.”
"The funding has helped me make the most of university and it makes me feel thankful to know that people want to give to students and that there is a supportive community out there. It’s nice to have people to connect with and ask questions of, because I think, as a university student, there is still an element of uncertainty about what you are going to do beyond university and being able to talk to people that have been through the same experience and are years past graduation is useful.”
