About the scholarship

An Award to support a student enrolled in the first year of an undergraduate degree programme in Education or Social Work. The Award was established in 2014 with a generous donation from Eileen (Sunny) Barnes, a close friend of William and Betty Bell. William and Betty Bell both grew up in the Great Depression and thus had an understanding of financial need. The main purpose of the Award is to assist a student who has demonstrated the potential to succeed but who may have been disadvantaged due to their personal circumstances.
