Bursary opens door

Tanaya

An academic grant enabled Tanaya Singh to overcome personal challenges and step up and study for A Levels at The Bedford Sixth Form.

Young people can apply for the financial aid of £4,000 from TBSF in Bromham Road, once they have their GCSE results and are considering what to do next. To find out more click here.

Tanaya took full advantage of the opportunity to thrive in the seriously studious environment of TBSF gaining great  A Level passes in Geography, Govt & Politics and English Literature & Language winning a place at Kings College, London.

The first in her family to go to university, Tanaya will be further helped through a valuable bursary of £2,500 from the Peter Roberts Collab Group fund (Photo) and a £3,500 grant from the Bedford Harpur Trust.

“The funding will help me buy equipment for extracurricular activities, networking and fields trips on my geography course. It will enable me to take some extra steps towards employment in Government where I hope to get a role when I have completed my degree,”

said Tanaya.

In the meantime she hopes to set up a YouTube channel sharing her experiences of the course and what she is learning as it unfolds.
