The Marjorie Blouet Scholarship

Marjorie Blouet

As Vice-Chancellor, my family and I are supporting a scholarship to honour my grandmother, Marjorie Blouet who was unable to attend university due to a lack of opportunity and funding at the time.

Under the Made from More Scholarship Programme, I am delighted that we have created the Marjorie Blouet Scholarship so that in her memory, we can support students, who might not otherwise be able, to attend university.
