The £1,000 scholarship is awarded to students at the University of Worcester with outstanding academic achievements. A record 98 students were this year awarded the scholarship, which were presented at an award ceremony presided over by University Vice Chancellor, Professor David Green.
Professor Green said: “I am delighted that so many of our students have been awarded scholarships this year. It is testament to their hard work and commitment to their studies.
“This year we also had a number of students who picked up scholarships for the second year running, which is a superb achievement. I’m also delighted confirm that the scholarships scheme will continue to run for new students who join the University in 2012/13 and beyond.”
