Meet our scholars
Amalia Madden – Physics
"I instantly felt like Imperial suited me when I came to visit and that I could see myself studying here. The standard of research and the staff here are world class, and I wanted to live in London. Most of all, I like the fact that my course is very challenging.
Aside from physics my other love is music and this had a major part in my decision – the music facilities at Imperial are great and there are loads of ensembles to get involved in with students from all different universities across London.
This scholarship really made me feel more valuable as a student and that I could succeed as a physicist."
Jasper Wong – Mechanical Engineering
"I chose Imperial because I really like London, and there are so many clubs and societies available that there is always something to do outside of study time. The breadth of the course is also extremely stimulating; there never seems to be any dull moments, and you really get to appreciate the beauty of engineering.
I have used my scholarship to ease the financial burden of my accommodation fees, purchase components to upgrade my laptop, and fund various tickets for trips and activities. It has greatly eased the financial aspect of attending university, which is often extremely daunting."
Sonika Sethi – Medicine
"Imperial is such an incredible university, and the hospitals that it’s affiliated with are some of the best in the UK. It is also fantastic socially, with over 300 clubs and societies to get involved in, and you’re in the middle of one of the nicest parts of London. For me, this is one of the USPs of Imperial as it is the only university in the UK that allows you to be involved in organising so many different events to such a grand scale.
I was incredibly grateful to have this scholarship because it meant that I did not restrict myself in what I wanted to get involved in, and it only increased my passion towards getting involved in the Imperial life."
