| EpiGenesys Scholarship |
Victoria Hawthorn: our first Epigenesys scholar
Victoria Hawthorn was the first recipient of an industrial scholarship funded by EpiGenesys. She completed her A-levels at the Watford Grammar School for Girls, obtaining A grades in Mathematics, Physics and Geography. Victoria says: "The scholarship has made a big difference. I didn't have a laptop at home - we have one PC for all of us - so it's meant that I can buy my own laptop. Without the scholarship I would need to have taken a part-time job, so it's meant that I can focus on my studies and spend more time on my course." |
