We support record numbers of postgraduate students

During 2024 the Eve Brook Scholarship Fund supported 11 young people through postgraduate courses with our £3,000 bursaries. The last few years has seen a significant increase of Birmingham care-leavers going on to post-graduate study. 2024’s tally was the largest number of Birmingham care-leavers ever to undertake post-graduate courses, with EBSF support.

Our 2024 post-grads include:

Karis Ryland LLB, studying on a post-graduate legal practice course at the University of Law;

Carlene McCutcheon BA, studying for an MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, at the University of Wolverhampton.
