I studied American Studies at Swansea University for four years, including a year abroad in South Carolina. I graduated with a 2:1 Bachelors Degree with Honours.
Without the grant, I wouldn’t have been able to afford all the textbooks I needed and I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with my required reading. I cannot thank the foundation enough for their help in ensuring that I had everything I needed to complete my degree to the fullest.”
“The grant was an amazing help to me throughout my year of Art Foundation as I could equip myself with all the art supplies I needed without any stress. I'm going to use the little bit I have left to buy sketchbooks to take with me to university (though it doesn't take long for them to fill up!)
Thank you very much again!”
“Thank you for the grant you awarded me for the coming academic year at St Andrews in Scotland. The grant has been hugely beneficial for my studies. It has enabled me to buy additional books for my course which otherwise, I would not have been able to do. These books are often ones that were either unavailable in the library or were highly desired by the rest of the student body and therefore has given me greater access to resources.
This has been particularly useful this summer in preparation for my final year dissertation topic, as the books were not available in the library. Like most university libraries, St Andrew’s Library is heavily overused and so this grant has been a great help in getting the books I needed.
Once again, many thanks for my award, it is greatly appreciated.”
