CHSA announces bursary winners

Olivia Baker, Liam Shepherd and Rebecca Griffiths have been selected as the recipients of the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association’s (CHSA) 2022 Undergraduate Bursary. 14 young people have benefited from the bursary while at university since it was rejuvenated in 2016. Each receives £4500, £1500 being paid at the start of each academic year or the first three years if the degree is longer.

Applicants were assessed by a judging panel, led by CHSA vice president and treasurer, David Garcia, according to need, worthiness, endeavour, and overall performance. David said: “The bursary is a highlight of our year. It’s exciting to meet the talented young people and hear about their hard work and aspirations for the future. Each one exhibited hard work and a determination to achieve. With 10 applicants for three bursaries, it was inevitable some would be disappointed. The final decision was incredibly challenging because we were impressed by everyone. All the applicants should feel amazingly proud of themselves. We wish the final three, and indeed all the applicants, every success at university and in their future careers.”

Oliva Baker intends to study law with criminology at Royal Holloway, University of London; Liam Shepherd is to study a BSc in food and nutrition at University College, Birmingham; and Rebecca Griffiths is going to Derby University to study writing and publishing.
