What a Bursary Meant to Me

Alisha Ali, OH 2017-24, spoke to the Development Office about the help she received to attend Hymers College

Receiving a bursary to attend Hymers from Year 7 through to Year 13 was something I am greatly appreciative for. My time at Hymers was something I will never forget; from lifelong friends to the amount of opportunities I was presented with at the school, Hymers has set me up for life.

Currently I am studying medicine at university and a lot of credit goes towards the support that I received from the school as an applicant. After experiencing first-hand the benefits of attending Hymers College (the teaching support, pastoral support, as well as the opportunities to express yourself as an individual via sport and academics), I believe that bursaries are vital in bridging the gap between those fortunate enough to access private education and its benefits, and those unable to.
