WIPRO STEM TEACHER SCHOLARSHIP
REDUCTION IN FEES
At the final in May of the Mayor’s Entrepreneur competition, King’s student and chemistry teacher Francis Jones pitched his project in person to the Mayor of London and a panel of celebrity judges. Called STEM@Home, Francis’s project delivers a subscription box full of practical science experiments and past exam questions to secondary students’ doorsteps every month. What’s more, STEM@Home aims to distribute its boxes for free to students across London who need educational support but cannot afford it, in line with the 4th UN Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education.
Francis commented that: ‘ I would not have done this MA without the financial support of the Wipro scholarship. The time and financial commitment to doing a Master’s were the two main roadblocks I had but since the Wipro scholarship covered the vast majority of the financial costs, all I had to worry about was the time commitment.’
Following her research on the MA STEM education, Aylin Ozkan has joined the Royal Society of Chemistry, where she works on the organisation’s policy positioning and statements. Aylin reports that: ‘The STEM Education MA has really opened my eyes to the STEM education landscape both in England and abroad. My favourite module by far was the Environmental Education and Sustainability module.’ She commented that: ‘I was able to apply for this programme with the help of a scholarship from Wipro, who have kindly sponsored a large majority of my fees. Without their support, I wouldn’t have been able to undertake a Master’s, so this was a deciding factor.’
