SCHOLARSHIPS
Woods Family
Scholarship
Dr Matt Woods graduated from Keele in 1996
(BSc Economics and Physics) and was awarded
a PhD in Physics in 2000. He was Chair of the Keele
Postgraduate Association from 1998-2000 and
has served on the University Council. He currently
lives and works in New York, USA. Matt has attended
several Keele in the USA events and decided he
would like to support some of our students as he felt
he had benefitted so much from his time at Keele.
Three awards of £1,000 were awarded this year to first undergraduate
year students identified as coming from areas where there is a low
number of school leavers who go onto university. This was coupled
with their very high A-level grades. All eligible students were invited
to submit a detailed application form together with a 500 statement
attesting to their suitability for the award.
