Help with graduation costs

The help I received from the Widening Access Team was really indispensable in allowing me to have the memorable graduation day I ended up having.
Having to move into a new flat over the summer meant my finances were uncertain, but the support allowed me to have a great day completely stress and risk free.As a care leaver, I received regular contact from the University letting me know that support was available; the graduation support I received at the end was really just an exemplary demonstration of their commitment to people in my situation, and it was much appreciated for my part."Jordan Taylor
