Student awarded scholarship

The Reading List Foundation exists to inspire the generations of graduates who received a free university education to help support those who are following in their footsteps, while facing much greater financial pressures. The Reading List Foundation helps exceptional Year 13 students from lower-income families succeed at university, by paying for their first year textbooks, providing practical, financial and emotional help. The scholarship is for £250, around the average cost of a student’s first year Reading List, which is roughly what a student spends on textbooks in a year.

Zuzu was awarded this scholarship for her outstanding academic achievement in her A-levels especially during  difficult times caused by the pandemic. The award was presented to her during the Year 13  Leavers’ Celebration on Wednesday 9^th June.

This scholarship will greatly help Zuzu who hopes to go on to study English Literature at Liverpool John Moores University in September.

“Two in five undergraduates in England from lower-income households have had to cut back on textbooks because of mounting financial pressures.”

"80% of students said the scholarship made a ‘very big’ or ‘fairly big’ difference to their first year at university."
