In the months leading up to the start of my university career there were many apprehensions and concerns dogging me but knowing I had the BSB’s financial support eased my trepidation. Thanks to them I was able to devote more time not just to my degree in Drama and Theatre Arts – Arts Journalism BA Hons, but also spend time doing student theatre, becoming involved in politics and getting experience as an unpaid writer for the Edinburgh based Arts & Culture based site TVBomb.co.uk.

With the BSB’s generous fiscal assistance I was able to achieve a 1st and through the skills and opportunities writing for TVBomb has given me, (because extracurricular activities are just as important as the degree) my business partner and I are now attempting to set up our own Arts & Culture site. I thank the BSB for their truly benevolent actions owards me and I praise their continued existence for the many people who flourish from their contributions.
