A first year Accounting student at 成人直播 (BU) has received a 拢12,000 bursary from .
The bursary, paid in instalments of 拢4,000 over three years, is awarded to outstanding Accounting students who come from a low income background, and either a neighbourhood with low participation in higher education (HE) or who is the first in their family to enter HE.
The recipient of the bursary was Kelly O鈥機onnor - a first-year student who fits all the bursary requirements as well as having an outstanding academic record.
Kelly said: 鈥淭he ICAEW bursary has made a significant impact on me and my life. It has helped me greatly, and due to my ill health it's allowed me to not have to get a job whereas if I didn't receive this it would have had a massive effect on my health and my studies if I also had to get a job.
鈥淚t's also enabled me to focus on my studies and achieve the highest grades I can. So I am deeply grateful to聽ICAEW Foundation.鈥�
Launched in 2007, the ICAEW Foundation helps to shape the future of the profession by providing opportunities for disadvantaged students and fostering closer ties between academia and the profession.听
