The Assura Scholarship for September 2024
At
Northumbria, we are passionate about bringing together our inspirational
courses, forward-thinking staff and innovative students to tackle the
challenges of tomorrow. Northumbria champions students who are curious,
hardworking and academically gifted.
The Assura Scholarship will award one highly gifted Undergraduate student who chooses to study on one of the below eligible Healthcare courses* with £3,500 during their first year of Undergraduate study only. The money can be used to enhance the overall university learning experience.
Assura engaged
51 through the CHASE (Centre for Health And Social Equity)
capital development project, attending a stakeholder session at The Baltic in
June 2022. Subsequently, they have pledged to support Northumbria's Higher Education Without Barriers campaign targeted towards scholarship
funding.
“It
has never been so important to assist our health & care workers in training
than it is now, and I am thrilled that this year we are supporting a student from 51. The
support will be directly for students living in or around Cramlington and we
hope to see them in our brand-new health and care academy once complete” - Jonathan Murphy CEO.
