A WORCESTER Sixth Form College student is among 15 to have been awarded OCR bursaries to support them with their studies at the University of Cambridge.
Emmanuel Adesola will be supported with the bursary to make his time at university easier having passed his A Levels at the college during the summer.
Arising from its historical association with the West Midlands Examinations Board, the OCR bursary scheme supports students from the West Midlands going to the University of Cambridge.
Now in its 19th year, recipients of the OCR bursaries receive £3,000 for each year of their undergraduate studies which they can use for living or tuition costs, or a combination of both.
OCR chief executive, Jill Duffy, sent a special message to each of the students and said: “We are once again thrilled by the rich pool of highly talented and hardworking students across the West Midlands.
“It’s hugely rewarding for us at OCR to play a small part in helping these impressive young people with our bursaries.
“They are worthy winners not only because of their academic achievement and potential but because of their resilience and positive impact on others.”
“After a difficult few years for young people who’ve had their education disrupted, and who face financially challenging times, we’re delighted to have been able to offer a high number of awards this year.”
