Coming to university for the first time can feel like an especially daunting time for new students. Daren shares his memories of his first day on campus and how his scholarship made all the difference in helping him to make the most of his time at Nottingham. 

Daren Sungalee

Daren Sungalee is a second year biochemistry student at the University of Nottingham.

Ahead of starting university, he was uncertain as to what his experience would be like and whether he'd have enough money to do all of the things he wanted to do. 

Your donations to scholarships made Daren's dream a reality. Having the extra boost helped to put his mind at ease and allowed him focus on making the most of everything Nottingham has to offer.

"Having the scholarship made my decision to come to Nottingham that much better," Daren says, "I chose to come to Nottingham and I really do deserve it. This was a sign that I should go."

Thank you for continuing to make an impact.
