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. 62 | Keele University
