Over the last three years I have been lucky enough to receive financial aid from Balliol – thanks to donations from Old Members and friends like you.
Your support has significantly changed my experience, both on my course and in my wider life. I’ve been able to participate in different societies and communities without worrying about whether I could afford it.I’ve also been able to pay for course materials, textbooks and a new laptop. As Law exams are online nowadays, I honestly don’t think I could have achieved as much without this help.
As part of my degree I had to study overseas, and once again it was Balliol’s support – and yours – that made this possible. The cost of visas and moving abroad is astronomical and without financial aid this would have been an impossibility. Moreover, Balliol’s continued help over the course of that year was invaluable. Knowing that I had this support whilst settling into a new country helped me to acclimatise much quicker.
The financial aid I received thanks to donors like you has supported a core part of my university experience.
Without your help, my time at Balliol would have been much more isolated, challenging, and less fulfilling. Thank you so much for all your support.
