Winners of the CHSA's 2024 Bursary announced
Four talented young people are celebrating. Following a panel interview, Emma Hinks, Sander Morris, Harry Thomas, and Molly Vaughan have been selected as the recipients of the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association's (CHSA) Bursary, which is open to the children of CHSA members' employees.
The four recipients will each receive £6,000 over the course of their university career. It will be paid in three instalments, £2,000 being paid at the start of each academic year or the first three years if the degree is longer.
Emma Hinks is to study Children & Adolescent Mental Health at Edge Hill. Her father works at Evans Vanodine. Sander Morris is planning to study History at Durham University. His father works at Karcher. Harry Thomas is planning to study Mathematics, also at Durham University. His father works at Arco. Molly Vaughan is to study Learning & Teaching at the University of Northampton. Her mother also works at Karcher.
Since it was first awarded in 2016 in its current form, the Bursary has benefited 21 young people. It has made it possible for them to engage fully in their university careers, paying for books and study materials, field trips and club memberships. It has also provided the freedom to enjoy the full range of social opportunities.
Applicants were assessed by a Judging Panel, led by CHSA vice president and treasurer David Garcia, according to need, worthiness endeavour, and overall performance.
"It is a pleasure to be able to give something back by offering valuable financial support to the children of our members' employees," explains David.
"Every year we find it incredibly difficult to make the final decision, and this year was no different. It is an extremely rewarding experience to meet the talented young people and hear about their hard work and aspirations for the future. They are always impressive. I wish we could award the bursary to them all. We very much hope the final four, and all the applicants, enjoy their time and university."
