The Beacon School Scholarship
Beacon Scholar
The Beacon Scholarship has been a big help to my academic and social life. The module courses have proven to be invaluable in their accurate understanding of my student life. In the latest module, I learned how to boost resilience and energy, a topic very timely as it was right before sitting my AS exams.So although the past year has been one of the hardest academic years in my career, Beacon did not feel at all like just a scholarship programme but a community that I knew had my back during the A-level journey.Beacon Parent
The Beacon Scholarship continues to give XXX an excellent framework for balance and stretch in his growth and development. He remains active in sport, music, debate and other extra-curricular activities in school, family and the wider community. He also gained work experience, and the CEO was very impressed by his ability to engage with all the members of staff he encountered and enthusiastically do the tasks he was assigned, and by what he had learned in the short time.Beacon Scholar
The Beacon Target Sheet allows me to set realistic and tangible goals across the academic year. With the help of the academic performance section, I have been able to track my progress within a particular subject across three terms. This allows me to prioritise growth as each term is an opportunity to get one step closer to the end goal. The Beacon Scholarship has not just helped me when it comes to setting realistic goals; It has also helped me in the process of reaching them.Beacon Parent
Our daughter has developed into an all-round student in her academics, leadership, co-curricular activities and community development. We are super proud of her achievements. The Beacon learning sessions and modules have made a significant impact in her school and personal life. We are very grateful to Beacon for giving XXX this opportunity.Beacon Scholar
Holding the Beacon Scholarship this year has given me access to multi-faceted support in my academic life. I have been privileged to have access to structured routines that have allowed me to reflect on my journey, learn from my setbacks and remember what my ultimate goals at school have been. Having a Target Sheet, a Beacon mentor, leadership workshops and a community of people who are rooting for me has made this year more conquerable, more enjoyable and incredibly rewarding.Beacon Parent
With her fellow scholars, XXX has become part of a community, allowing her to build a network of peers who are also pursuing meaningful careers and leadership roles, receiving mentorship from experienced professionals and educators who guide them in their academic and personal growth, which will greatly enhance my child’s career prospects after graduation, opening doors to opportunities in various fields.The Beacon University Scholarship

The Beacon Scholarship continues to be the most transformational and rewarding part of my life. This year, I learned extensively through the Beacon Leadership Curriculum, and my peers provided valuable insights that helped refine my leadership abilities. Additionally, the Employability workshops strengthened my profile, opening doors to internships and fostering an active focus on citizenship, my personal project, and community engagement with fellow Beacons, colleagues, and classmates.Beacon Parent
Being a Beacon Scholar has given our son the confidence and opportunities to truly thrive. We’ve seen him grow not only academically but also as a leader, mentoring others, leading outreach programmes and making the family grateful and proud. We are proud of the responsible, compassionate young man he is becoming, and we are deeply grateful for the community and inspiration that the Beacon Scholarship continues to provide.Beacon Scholar
The Beacon Scholarship has been key to my growth this year, especially through the support of mentors and Beacon alumni. Their insight has helped me think more critically about my post-graduation trajectory and which path within economics and finance to pursue. These relationships have also expanded my network, with many mentors participating in our society events or offering guidance through leadership challenges. The Moodle courses have shaped how I lead, with the unit on resilience standing out as especially empowering.Beacon Parent
We are thrilled to see our child complete her first year of studies at university. The Beacon Scholarship has enhanced her confidence, opened doors for new opportunities such as internships in the UK and meeting peers at college. We believe XXX will become a true leader in the future and be able to make tremendous transformation in our world.Beacon Scholar
Being a Beacon Scholar continues to give me a clear sense of purpose in both my professional and academic life. It constantly pushes me to strive for impact, not just through academic success but in the wider university community. The leadership workshops have equipped me with valuable skills that I’ve applied across many aspects of university life, from group projects to extracurricular initiatives. This year, I’ve also deepened my connections within the Beacon network, forming lasting friendships and expanding my network system. The scholarship remains a defining influence on who I am and the leader I aspire to become.Beacon Parent
