About
I am sincerely honored to have been selected as a recipient of the Jefferies Family Scholarship for three years and I would like to personally thank all of the donors for their generosity, which has allowed me to achieve goals beyond my dreams. Studying French and Italian gave me the chance to spend a year living and working abroad thanks to the compulsory Year Abroad aspect of my degree. During my time in Italy, I worked as an English Language Assistant on behalf of the British Council. Moving to a foreign country, to live alone and work with people who don’t speak your mother tongue is a very daunting prospect and a financial burden would have only made this opportunity even more daunting. Because of this, the Jefferies Family Scholarship has truly had an impact on my life. The scholarship enabled me to immerse myself in other cultures and become fluent in foreign languages without having to worry about the financial difficulties that come with living abroad. Not only did the scholarship cover the costs of the textbooks necessary for me to achieve my ambition of speaking French and Italian fluently, but the funds also allowed me to pursue my dream of being immersed into these foreign cultures. For that, I am truly grateful.
I would like to thank the program for all of the help, I am truly grateful to all of the donors for the financial help that the scholarship has given me.
