As we reflect on a year since the murder of George Floyd, we recognise so much still needs to change in our world and today, of all days, our thoughts must first return to George Floyd and his family.
The resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement and the demand for sustainable change continues.
The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation was born out of the need to address the inequity we see in the diversity of students at UK universities. While many issues are at play as to why more Black students do not enter our universities, the focus of The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation is to address one part of the jigsaw – the financial cost of university education. There are so many ways to make a difference. At The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation we would like to play our small part in changing the world.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
