"The whole scholarship process was such a gratifying experience. Writing about debt relief raised my awareness of Third World development issues, and has motivated me to help in any way I can. I also had fun meeting future students and staff on the presentation day. My family and I were thrilled with the news and it was definitely rewarding to have my effort and ideas recognised."
