Lord Crewe Scholars

The Charity always appreciates the messages of thanks received from undergraduate and graduate recipients of Lord Crewe Bursaries and Scholarships, many of which describe inspirational academic journeys.

“This bursary has helped to alleviate financial stress regarding my studies. Despite working during my A-levels to help fund my studies, my savings unfortunately are not sufficient. Due to this, your help is extremely appreciated.”

“The bursary is invaluable in helping me to manage the cost of living and working in Oxford, and even more so in the current economic climate.”

“I wanted to thank you for your very generous donation that has enabled me to acquire all the resources I need for revision as well as covering living costs of staying in Oxford over the vacation period.”

“I am writing to you to thank Lord Crewe’s Charity for their generosity in awarding me this scholarship. Despite receiving the lowest bracket of maintenance loan, I am funding myself through university, which means this award makes a huge difference in allowing me to spend more time focusing on my academics. This is especially important as I look to research PhDs for further study next year.”

“Without the financial security that this scholarship has offered me, I would not have considered taking up my MSt offer, which would have been devastating for me; the scholarship means that I will be able to focus completely on my studies instead of spending time worrying about financial concerns.”

“I am the first in my family to attend university. Therefore, studying for a doctorate seemed unattainable and unimaginable when beginning my undergraduate degree. This award will certainly ease the pressures in the current cost of living crisis, and I really appreciate the Charity’s generosity.”

“Being a first-generation attendee of a university, this journey has not been the simplest. I attended a school in a low-socioeconomic part of north London that lacked the resources and expertise to support me in achieving my aspirations. As a result, I have had to put in double the effort and take a risk by applying to a world-class institution like Oxford. I am extremely proud that these efforts were rewarded, and I am now the first successful Oxbridge applicant from my school since its opening in 2007. I hope to become an inspiration to those in my community who feel they are at a disadvantage due to their circumstances. I believe that anything is possible if you work towards it.”
