The first two recipients of the Copty Scholarship, Yousef and Daniella, have arrived in #Belfast from #Palestine, ready to begin the new academic year. The Copty Scholarship, set up in 2020 by Georgina Copty and her husband Chris McDowell, both @QUBAlumni, aims to transform lives through education. The fully-paid, one-year postgraduate programme is open to applicants with #Palestinian nationality who reside in #Gaza or the #WestBank, including #EastJerusalem, and whose families are normally resident there. Earlier this year, the University announced that it would be covering the cost of extending the existing Copty Scholarship for Palestinians from one to four students, as part of a package of measures of support for at risk students and academics. "My first impression of Belfast is that it’s a friendly, international city. Everyone has been really helpful so far. I'm looking forward to a new experience, new adventures, meeting new people and of course getting a good grade.” Read the full story: ow.ly/Varw50ToXWh #LoveQUB #QUB #QueensUniversityBelfast #Scholarship #ScholarshipOpportunity #Palestine
