Jefferies Family Scholarship
Attending university has not only inspired me within an academic sphere, but has also proved invaluable in presenting me with the opportunity to become involved in many clubs and activities. I also feel privileged to have made friends with people from different regions of the country and from abroad. I am very grateful for the support that I have been given by the Jefferies Family Scholarship, which has enabled me to enjoy much of the past year and develop my academic interests.
