In 2021-22, the Kent Opportunity Bursary provided £15,000 to students in need. Here is what they had to say...
"I am now able to focus on my studies, pay some of my bills, visit my family more often and most importantly go grocery shopping without sacrificing one for the other."
"The Kent Opportunity Bursary will allow me to pay off some of my accrued debt, which allowed me to focus on exams and cut my hours down at work. This has taken a huge weight off my shoulders."
"The bursary has allowed me to continue my studies as a single parent, as without it, I would have had to work to pay for the expenses that I have to cover for both myself and my kids."
