The bursaries provide a support package worth up to £20,000 to cover expenses related to attending university, including tuition fees or accommodation and living costs. Awardees will also gain exclusive access to networking groups to meet positive role models, interact with like-minded peers, build long-term relationships and benefit from collaboration opportunities.
Eleanor McCarthy studied Creative Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London, and said: ""My parents are from Ghana, and I’m the first generation in our family to attend university. I always had an interest in technology, but I felt discouraged as I didn’t have resources like my own laptop. Now, I’m excited to combine my love for art, design and coding by studying creative computing. With this bursary, Amazon has recognised my potential and I build an exciting career in technology!"
