“The support that Crowd Scholar provides extends far beyond money. I have been given direction on career pathways, CVs and cover letters, and I have felt supported throughout various challenges both during my final year at sixth form and at university . . . The reality is student life can be very exhausting and isolating, especially when you come from a disadvantaged background. I have been very privileged to receive continuous support as a result of being a Crowd Scholar, and I am very grateful for that. I hope that this programme will continue to help other students like me.”
