"I could not access A-levels and wanted to study at one of the top universities. The UPC and the Bowman Scholarship allowed me to close the gap in my education and follow my dream of becoming a physicist."
How much support did you get from being a Bowman Scholarship student? What support was most helpful to you?
"I had a lot of support from my tutors over the academic year, which was the most helpful for me in my studies and preparation for undergraduate degrees. The Campus Pack was very helpful, it helped me worry less about financial difficulties."
What would you like to share with other refugee or asylum seekers students who wish to get to university and higher education?
"As an asylum seeker, it is challenging to access higher education without the right qualifications, and due to financial barriers. However, in my experience, things always work out if you keep going. There are so many people ready to help, you just need to keep looking for a solution and hold onto your dreams."
