We are delighted to celebrate the success of four former King Edward VI College students who have been awarded Academic Scholarship Awards by the University of Worcester for their outstanding achievements.

Benjamin, Marnie, Callum, and Charlotte each received a £1,000 scholarship in recognition of their academic excellence during the last year of their studies.

Benjamin, now in his third year studying Business Management, said:
“It means everything to me that my hard work and dedication to my degree and my assignments is being recognised and is paying off. I hope to act as a role model to show future students what is possible when you put a lot of effort into your degree.”
He added that Worcester’s strong graduate employment record was a key factor in his choice:
“Worcester has one of the best figures for graduates finding positions, which as a student who is very keen to get into the workplace, was very attractive to me.”

Third-year Law student Marnie shared:
“It’s an absolute honour to receive this award. It ensures I can continue to flourish within my academic work and hopefully become a lecturer in Law in the near future.”
She praised the University’s inclusive approach:
“The University is a lovely institution which provides the utmost support to students, as it provides inclusive learning to all students. I’m proud to be a part of the University of Worcester.”

Callum, also in his third year studying Business Management, said:
“I was very pleased to achieve this award as it represents the hard work and dedication I have put in during the previous year of my studies. It motivates me to carry on and continue to work hard.”

Charlotte, currently training to be a doctor on the University’s Medicine MBChB course, said:
“I’ll put it towards my travel costs into university and my placements.”

The scholarships are supported by generous philanthropists, Honorary Fellows, local employers, and successful graduates, as part of the University’s Anniversaries Campaign, marking 20 years since gaining full university status and 80 years since its founding.

Professor Sally Moyle, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) at the University, said:
“We are incredibly proud of the students who have received academic scholarships.”
