I was one of two recipients of the Business School Dean’s Fund scholarship. Imperial is an extremely competitive school and so being recognised in this way out of the hundreds of students in the Business School me feel proud and validated. It also made me feel like I had made the right decision to pause my career and pursue higher education.
