Three students from Queen's University in Belfast have received awards from Choice Housing.
Choice Housing launched the five-year scheme in 2019 to support and motivate students from Widening Participation (WP) backgrounds to achieve academic excellence and to complete their studies.
Tiago Realinho (Biochemistry), Sophie Mayse (Economics with Finance) and Jacob McArdle (Software Engineering) were each awarded prizes of £1,000 in recognition of their academic attainments.
The Choice Housing Prizes provide financial support to students who have participated in either the Pathway Opportunity Programme or Senior Academy Programme, key Queen's initiatives delivered by the University’s Widening Participation Unit (WPU).
Lawrence Jackson, Group Director of Corporate Services at Choice Housing and a Queen's alumnus said: "We are delighted to be continuing this important partnership with Queen's.
"Everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, should have the same opportunities to go on to third level education and, through this initiative, we aim to support and motivate students from Widening Participation backgrounds to achieve academic excellence and to complete their studies.
"We hope that through these prizes, Choice Housing can help the individual recipients to succeed in the future and contribute to creating stronger inclusive communities."
