Rewarding excellence
with scholarships In 2009 David Wong from Hong Kong was the highest
achieving student on the Foundation in Humanities,
Law and Social Sciences at Exeter with an overall grade
of A*. He was awarded one of the University of Exeter
progression bursaries for high academic achievement
and a scholarship from the School of Law at the
University. He is expected to graduate in 2012.
 INTO 15

High achievement is important to INTO

and its students. We reward the academic
success of the best students and in 2010
gave over $1.5m in scholarships that
helped fund their studies.

If you have a strong academic record you will have the

opportunity to apply for an INTO scholarship. These
recognise those that have worked hard to join us and
have the potential to go on to study at the highest
levels. Every study centre offers scholarships and each
application is considered with great care.

The leading universities in our network also have

scholarship programmes for those who do well in their
studies. They have great confidence in the academic
quality of INTO students and know they are well
prepared for the next stage of their studies. It is another
way in which we have helped thousands of students
achieve their ambitions.

Each year we award joint academic scholarships with

University partners and further INTO scholarships to
support students from around the world to study at
INTO. Details of the scholarships schemes are available
on our website.

INTO Giving:
Making a difference
 INTO 17

We believe that improving access to education can transform lives by lifting young
people out of poverty and into a sustainable future. INTO staff and students
organise and participate in a range of fundraising events, providing opportunities
to make new friends and develop new skills, while helping to raise funds to support
life-changing educational projects.

Our support is particularly focused on the countries our students come from and provide opportunities for staff
and students to make a real difference to the future of the young people in today’s global community. As part
of our commitment to making a difference to those who need it most, all monies raised by INTO staff, students
and the wider community are then matched by INTO. It is part of our commitment to building a better world.

The partnership projects:

HELPING in the Gambia In-Community Care for Orphan (I-CCO)

Poverty and deprivation in the Gambia mean that
most children will not progress to higher education.
In partnership with HELPING we are contributing
towards the cost of training young teachers from
the local community to improve the standard of
education for all the young people they teach.
We have already provided funds for the teacher
training of 11 young teachers.
The China Hope Project
Following the Sichuan earthquake of 2008 many
schools in remote parts of the province were either
destroyed or left unfit for purpose. In partnership
with the Hope project we have helped to rebuild the
Lianghou Primary School and we will continue to
support the school through further fundraising
and voluntary work.
in Zambia
In 2009, 690,000 children in Zambia were orphaned
as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and almost
double that number are missing school to help sick
parents or because they are too poor to attend
school. We are working with I-CCO to build a much
needed school and community centre for these
children and the families in the township around
the capital Lusaka. Most of the construction will be
carried out by locals, who will gain valuable building
skills and a training certificate. The building is already
underway and should be completed by summer 2011.

The USA and its world-class, globally-recognized

“liberal education”, an approach that empowers the

knowledge of the wider world as well as in-depth
study in a specific area of interest. This helps
students develop a sense of social responsibility,
as well as strong and transferable intellectual and
practical skills such as communication, analytical and
problem-solving skills.
The U.S. provides affordable, safe, multi-cultural and
friendly campus environments, as well as the highest
level of athletic talent and competition in the world.
INTO students who study in the U.S. have the
