Esmond Robinson Scholarship

This scholarship is funded by Helen Prenn in memory of her son Esmond Robinson. It funds a place on LSBU's highly regarded MSc in Addiction Psychology & Counselling. Ms Prenn explains, "Having had a drug problem in his early life, Esmond devoted the last drug-free part of his life to helping addicts free themselves from their habits and stay drug free. I want this scholarship and future ones to enable Esmond's work to continue. This scholarship provides an opportunity for students accepted onto the course but who can't afford to fund it themselves."

We offer a fee discount worth £4,500 spread across three years. One scholarship will be awarded this year and the deadline for applying is Thursday 31 May 2012.
