If you've overcome challenges to pursue further education – whether you've faced health, educational or societal inequalities, were unable to go to university when you'd hoped to or financially it was a struggle, went to university after leaving care, have battled illness or injury, or had to balance studying with caring for a loved one – we'd like to hear from you.
You may not have had a straight-forward path to (or through) university, but you won't have let the challenges you've faced stop you from pursuing your dreams and ambitions. If you've broken through barriers to get to where you are today, we want to celebrate that with you.
