The London Alumni Scholarship exemplifies the power of community, with alumni coming together to provide a life-changing scholarship for a deserving student at The Australian ¾«¶«´«Ã½app University (ANU).

Established by ANU alumni living in the UK, the London Alumni Scholarship supports students experiencing financial hardship in completing their undergraduate degree at ANU. It offers $8,000 per annum for up to five years to assist with educational and living expenses. In 2022, the scholarship was awarded to Raichel Brodie.

Raichel, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at ANU, received the scholarship in recognition of her drive, determination and commitment to using her education to make a positive impact on the world.

"I chose Psychology because I have always had a strong motivation to help others and offer my support in difficult circumstances," she said. "Having financial security allows me to achieve the best possible results I can at university and enables me to accomplish greater things throughout my career."

Margaret and Simon Beresford-Wylie, prominent donors to the scholarship, spoke about their motivations behind giving to ANU.

"Graduating from ANU changed our lives. Our degrees led to amazing opportunities, successful careers, and a wonderfully fulfilling life together," Margaret said.

"We now feel so fortunate to give back, to be in a position to help other people whose lives will be changed forever as a result of having the opportunity to study at ANU."

The London Alumni Scholarship is testament to the impact a group of individuals can make when they come together to support a common cause. This scholarship would not be possible without the support of the passionate community of ANU alumni who reside in the UK, and who collectively make a difference to their alma mater.
