About the Laura Nuttall Scholarship
The Laura Nuttall Scholarship is named in memory of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) graduate, Laura Nuttall. After being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer in 2018 at the age of 18, Laura dedicated her life to raising awareness and funds for brain tumour and cancer charities. Laura was dedicated to helping others who faced barriers in education to succeed.
The Scholarship was launched in collaboration with Laura's family, to support students with long term illnesses, health conditions or disabilities, to succeed and thrive whilst studying at university.
