Jonty Sprawson

A former student of Holy Trinity Sixth Form has been recognised for outstanding academic achievement with a prestigious scholarship from the University of Worcester. 

Jonty Sprawson, 21, from Bewdley, was awarded £1,000 for academic excellence during the final year of his Cybersecurity degree at the University of Worcester. 

“I received at least an A- on all of my modules,” said Jonty. “Not many people achieve these scholarships, so it will be helpful in making me stand out to employers.” 

Since joining the University of Worcester, Jonty has achieved remarkable success in his studies through hard work and dedication. 

“I received pretty mediocre GCSEs and A-Levels, so I’m very proud of myself for achieving something I’ve never really done before,” he said. 

Professor Sally Moyle, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) at the University, said: “We are incredibly proud of the students who have received academic scholarships.” 

The scholarships and prizes are supported by generous philanthropists, including the University’s distinguished Honorary Fellows, local employers, and many successful graduates. 

Staff at the University have also been raising funds for scholarship and hardship support as part of the University’s two-year Anniversaries Campaign, celebrating 20 years since gaining full university status in 2005 and 80 years since being founded as an emergency teacher training college in 1946. 

Professor Moyle added: “These awards demonstrate to potential employers the outstanding achievements of our students, while providing financial support and encouragement for those who’ve earned them.”
