Scholar Spotlight: Lee
Lee, a first year Mental Health Nurse, secured a scholarship from the Gittins Family Charitable Trust in 2022.
In the last academic year we joined forces with The Gittins Family Charitable Trust to address the gender imbalance in nurses, and to help to create a diverse student community. The Gittins Family Charitable Trust was established by Brian Gittins (prior to his death in 2016) together with his older sister Sheila Gittins. Its purpose is to encourage students into engineering, manufacturing and healthcare roles.
As the University of Salford’s partnership with AJ Bell continues to thrive, several students celebrated their outstanding academic performances this year after being awarded the prestigious Technology Award.
Last month, three students from Levels 4, 5 and 6 attended an awards ceremony where they received the AJ Bell Technology Award for 2022 – 2023. The award recognises the top performing students in Levels 4, 5 and 6 from the Computer Science and Software Engineering programmes.

How To Survive
The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically altered the university experience of students around the world and the professional world they will join as graduates. Thanks to our generous donor community, we can support our students to reach their potential and fund extracurricular activities through the Salford Advantage Fund (SAF).
During 2021, Niki Woods, Senior Lecturer in Performance and Artistic Director of New Adelphi Theatre, led New Adelphi Enrichment Activity: How To Survive to help student and graduate artists recover from the pandemic.
The University’s Salford Advantage Fund (SAF) raises funds from our donor community to support vital initiatives across campus. The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the increasing demand for mental health and wellbeing support for students across the globe, and we were proud to support the Provision of Dedicated Resources To Support Student Mental Health and Wellbeing project in 2021, to improve the assets available to our students.
