“The bursary significantly alleviated the financial pressures of university life, allowing me to fully dedicate myself to my academic pursuits and extracurricular activities. This support not only made my studies more enjoyable but also enriched my overall university experience by reducing stress and enabling me to focus on personal and academic growth.
One of the most memorable highlights of my degree was completing an exchange semester in Amsterdam – a core requirement of the programme. Although I initially had concerns about the financial and logistical challenges, the support from GET made this life-changing opportunity possible. I returned with a broader global perspective and invaluable personal growth.”

My aspiration for the future is to become a Charted Accountant. I have the goal to use my qualifications to one day start a fund that can assist other students in reaching their goals and discovering their purpose.
