A fantastic opportunity for British higher education students of Black African and Caribbean heritage - please spread the word!

Fantastic opportunity for those in Greater London. Here at WEST, a family-run charity, our grants may not be as large, but we do offer them to Black British students throughout the UK. Applications will be opening soon for the upcoming 2023/24 academic year – watch this space!

Fantastic opportunity! Please spread the word!

Our thoughts are with the boy and his family. At times like these, we are even more aware of the extra support needed for Black British students to help them overcome all types of obstacles (for want of a better word) which they face in today's Britain.

Great to hear this! If you feel as passionately as we do about supporting Black British students to be proud of who they are and to achieve their full potential, please go to wilkestrust.org to find out more!

Today marks 75 years since the arrival of The Windrush Generation. Where would Britain be without the influence of the Windrush Generation? 📸: Getty Images

Looking forward to watching this: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08…. Our late President was one of these Caribbean women, arriving from Jamaica in the 1960s.

Many congratulations Nicolette Porter! We are very proud to have been part of your journey.

The key: what happens next. If they are genuinely looking to address the recommendations, we’d expect them to engage with a specialist EDI entity to conduct a very open & forensic process, not a light-touch process leading to mere cosmetic changes.

Completely agree. Sir Trevor's take is completely unique and personal to him, and certainly not that of "all Black families" as he says.

Deadline extended to 11.59pm on Friday 21st July! Please contact us direct by email (or direct message us here) to request an application form, to be completed and returned to us by email. Good luck and spread the word!

I am honoured to have been nominated by my favourite Middlesex University lecturers and to have been selected to be awarded this WEST (Wilkes Education Scholarship Trust) prestigious grant. This grant is proof that hard-work pays off! Immensely grateful that my efforts have been acknowledged! Thank you once again!
