THE ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP ach year Edge Hill graduates help current students to realise their ambitions by contributing to the Alumni Fund, which supports two initiatives designed to make a lasting difference to students’ lives, the Alumni Scholarship programme and the University’s Hardship Fund. This year, the Preparation for Higher Education Scholarship will be sponsored by the Alumni Fund.
By sponsoring the Preparation for Higher Education Scholarship the Alumni Fund is recognising students who have demonstrated determination and commitment to their studies and who have displayed promise in the face of adversity.
Money raised by alumni also supports Edge Hill’s Hardship Fund which provides emergency assistance to students in severe financial difficulties and can make the difference between a student continuing their education or being forced to drop out due to their circumstances. It can also give disadvantaged students the initial boost they need to start their academic career.
We would like to thank former students for remaining part of Edge Hill University and investing in the future of our students. If you would like to contribute to the Alumni Fund, donate online at edgehill.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-fund.
PREPARATION FOR HE SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS
F

hana was nominated for the Chancellor’s Scholarship in recognition of her passion, drive and determination to make a positive difference to mental health services in her local community.
nlike many students, Daniel didn’t spend his 18th birthday money on holidays or driving lessons. Instead he used it to travel to Calais to work as a volunteer, distributing aid in the nowdismantled ‘Jungle’ refugee camp. He returned a further three times to support refugees and continues to campaign to raise money and awareness of the need for ongoing help for refugees in Calais.
n his role as a volunteer Leader for 1st Ormskirk Scouts, Ben is an enthusiastic ambassador for Edge hill University, and works hard to make the University campus feel like an extension of the Scout hut for the 30 children in his unit.
S
As a volunteer for Sefton Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), she shares her own experiences of transitioning from CAMHS to adult mental health services to help improve the process for other young people. At only 19 years old, Shana began delivering sessions to healthcare professionals and one of her suggestions, that each client should have a dedicated transition worker to support them during the transition process, led to the creation of a transition worker post in Sefton.
While at Edge Hill, Shana has volunteered with Tackling the Blues, a sports-based programme for young people with, or at risk of, mental health issues, run by Everton in the Community. Through her connections with Sefton CAMHS, she brought the two organisations together to discuss how they can collaborate to improve access to mental health services for young people. Shana does all of this while studying full-time for her degree and being a parent, demonstrating her tireless commitment to changing lives.
U
Described as “a credit to the University”, Daniel has used his experiences not only to inspire other students to get involved in volunteering in Calais, but to enhance his cohort’s understanding of child welfare issues. In a presentation to the class he was able to give a first-hand international dimension to child safeguarding through his own experience with displaced child migrants. Over the summer, he travelled to Greece to help at refugee camps there, and will again be sharing his experiences with staff and students.
Recently, Daniel presented to the international Joint Social Work Education & Research Conference (JSWEC) about how students can raise issues of social justice and the need to protect the human rights of individuals experiencing hardship and oppression.

Hannah’s research project focuses on nineteenth century attitudes to Chinese immigrants to Britain. Using archives in Liverpool and London, she will explore the origins and development of the stereotypical image of the ‘Chinaman’ in popular culture.

There is little existing literature specifically around nineteenth attitudes to the Chinese, and even less concerning British experience, making Hannah’s contribution all the more significant. The Award will help Hannah to fund research trips to London and archive fees.
With a love of history that goes back to childhood, Hannah is now considering a career in teaching so that she can share her fascination with how the world has changed and developed with others.
