Emma signs up for a scholarship

By clearing

Emma Swatman is one of over 220 Teesside first-year students to receive a scholarship of £1,000 a year. The scholarships are non-repayable and are designed to recognize and reward academic achievement.

They are awarded to students who have achieved 300 UCAS tariff points. Students do not need to apply for a scholarship; they are automatically awarded to eligible students who meet the academic requirements.

Emma, 19, from Hartlepool, is in the first year of the BA (Hons) degree in Accounting and Finance. She achieved good A level results in Law and Business Studies at Hartlepool Sixth Form College, making her eligible for the scholarships.

Emma said: “Being awarded the scholarship was very valuable, it helps with travel and course costs. It also means I don’t have to do so much part-time work and so can spend more time on my studies. I’m really enjoying the friendly atmosphere at the University, I feel comfortable and at home. The lecturers make an effort to get to know you as well. I definitely want to work as an accountant when I graduate.’

Scholarships are only available to UK and European Union undergraduate students taking a full-time course on the University campus.
