Meet the St Antony's students whose lives have been changed by scholarship funding.
Scholarships change lives. It's as simple as that. We think the best people to tell you about how important scholarships are for the St Antony's community are the ones who have directly benefited from them. In the following videos you'll meet students from around the world. They'll give you an insight into how scholarships have not only supported their academic journeys, but also enriched their personal and professional growth. And in some cases, how a scholarship has changed their lives completely.
