Hull University announces scholarships for LGBTQ+ students JEREMY ROUND IN THE '80S
JEREMY TREVATHAN
Jeremy Trevathan, Jeremy Round’s former partner, has part-funded the scholarships. He said: “I wanted to support this scholarship because of a period I experienced when I found myself alone, unable to talk with my family as I hadn’t come out to them, and was rejected by the new friends I thought I’d made at the beginning of my adult life.
) Ten new scholarships to support the LGBTQ+ community have been announced by the University of Hull. The Jeremy Round Scholarship, named in memory of the university alumnus, cookery writer and journalist, will award each recipient with £1,000 to support the costs of study.
“It was a tough time for me, but I found my way through. There are many types of isolation that all undergraduates can experience.
Those who are successful can use the funds to cover accommodation costs, living expenses, books and other educational equipment.
“I wanted to set something up specifically for LGBTQ+ students who may have particular experiences and who may need some financial support in particular.”
To be eligible, students must identify as LGBTQ+ and either have a household income of under £25,000, or a disability. The closing date is Friday, October 15.
