Inclusive Bangor Scholarships

Inclusive Bangor Scholarships support graduating students wishing to continue their studies at Bangor – particularly in areas where there is an underrepresentation at postgraduate level or a loss of certain groups across the career pipeline.

As a member of the Athena Swan charter – committed to gender equality and diversity and to creating and promoting an inclusive culture – our Inclusive Bangor Scholarships were awarded to three exceptional graduates – Mae Bernard, Eddie

Being involved in EDI work is important to me because I strive to make the world a better place for the generations after me and equality for all is an important part of that. Moreover, diversity and inclusion in education settings can help to remove cultural bias and enrich wider society by offering new experiences and perspectives.

Bangor University has been very supportive of EDI issues in my field during my undergraduate degree and many female lecturers and staff are clearly very knowledgeable on inclusion. I am very grateful for the support from the University’s Athena Swan group and look forward to having the chance to push for inclusivity, both within the University and in my wider field.

I am honoured and grateful to be awarded the Inclusive Bangor Scholarship to study an MRes in Marine Biology. The scholarship will allow me the financial stability to fully dedicate myself to working on my research topic. Furthermore, it will enable me to progress towards my career aspirations of becoming a researcher in marine ecology.
