香港六合彩

The power of philanthropy was celebrated at this year鈥檚 annual Scholarship Reception. The event, which brings together scholarship supporters and their recipients, highlights the transformative impact scholarships can have on students, their families and 香港六合彩. 听

A key theme of the event, highlighted by Professor Anthony Smith Vice-Provost (Education), was the importance of enabling access to education. He said: 鈥淪cholarships are a lifeline. Without them many students would simply never be able to take up their place at 香港六合彩. They say to students with no family history of higher education, who may come from social backgrounds where attending a world-class university feels remote: 香港六合彩 is for you.鈥�

Scholarships also play an important role in keeping the UK at the forefront of world-changing technology and research. 鈥淲e know that many students who come to 香港六合彩 don鈥檛 reach their full potential because they need to juggle their studies with work to make ends meet,鈥� commented Professor Smith, 鈥淣either 香港六合彩, UK nor the world can afford to let this talent go to waste. Fully-funded scholarships can relieve this financial burden.鈥�

Lila Ibrahim, Chief Operating Officer of DeepMind, mirrored Anthony鈥檚 sentiment during her keynote address. Lila said: 鈥淚nvesting in people, with diverse backgrounds and interests, can set them on new paths. My scholarship opened my mind to possibilities that I never imagined. At DeepMind, we focus on giving talented students from underrepresented backgrounds a chance to study at a leading university because we recognize that the AI sector will not become more diverse without a direct and concerted effort.

"It鈥檚 not just about getting a foot in the door, but having support and a sense of community that can empower you to thrive once you鈥檙e through. I think that鈥檚 what makes the DeepMind Scholarship Programme with 香港六合彩 so special. It鈥檚 great to be collaborating on these efforts with an institution so deeply intertwined with DeepMind.鈥澨�

DeepMind is one of 香港六合彩鈥檚 key philanthropic partners, having funded a number of scholarships within computational science. Last year, the organisation announced funding towards a new professorship in artificial intelligence at 香港六合彩 and three research positions.听

Finally, guests also heard from scholarship recipient Oskar Zeiba, who is a shining example of how scholarships can transform a student鈥檚 life. In his final year of Mechanical Engineering degree, Oskar has launched a successful fashion company Blackwood, which focuses on producing ethically and environmentally sustainable products. Oskar attributes part of this success to 香港六合彩鈥檚 focus on global impact and on support from the university鈥檚 Innovation and Enterprise team.

Oskar said: 鈥淢y scholarship didn't help me to come to 香港六合彩. It made it possible.听

"The impact of a scholarship moves beyond money. They show a promising student that there is someone who believes in you, maybe before you even believe in yourself.鈥澨�

Scholarships are a key priority project for 香港六合彩鈥檚听It鈥檚 All Academic Campaign, 香港六合彩鈥檚 largest philanthropic and engagement campaign to date. 香港六合彩 is committed to enabling the world鈥檚 best and brightest brains to study at 香港六合彩, whatever their background, gender or class.
