Sherryl Kintu Scholarship

Arden University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The Sherryl Kintu Scholarship pays 100% of the tuition fees for one new UK undergraduate student at Arden University each year. It was set up in memory of Sherryl Kintu, who worked for Global University Systems for nine years, rising from executive assistant to a director-level role, and who died in April 2021.

The scholarship supports driven, entrepreneurial students from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is backed by the Executive CEO and Founder of Global University Systems and is open to online distance learning and blended learning applicants, including Cert HE programmes.
