What does the Amos Bursary do?

Johansel Emanuel Hernandez Pena

As AMOS students we are encouraged to engage in all four aspects of the bursary.

I am a Year 13 student at Kensington Aldridge Academy as well as a 2021 Amos Bursary Scholar.

At the Amos Bursary we are offered a range of workshops and activities each term. These programmes are essential to help us with our personal development as well as acquire skills that are transferable for whatever path we choose to follow. It is recommended that we attend all the workshops and encounter them with a positive attitude. When you join the Amos Bursary you are given a student handbook, which outlines what is expected from each scholar and what we can expect of the Amos Bursary. It also contains important information about interview preparation and internship preparation, which is useful information for scholars to apply throughout our time with the Bursary. The expectations set out may appear high, but it is because the AMOS team want the best for us and push us to want the best for ourselves.

As AMOS students we are encouraged to engage in all four aspects of the bursary: > Academic excellence and professional development > Motivation and Mindset

> Opportunities and experiences > Support guidance and community spirit

Scholars who apply these principles to their journey will get numerous opportunities and have lots of fun along the way. The Amos Bursary is an opportunity for us to make lifelong connections and receive support throughout our journey!
