Thankyou to everyone who puchase tickets,

The financial support provided by the bursary, is modest but there is substantial mentoring support for  participants , particularly those from challenging  backgrounds and without a tradition of higher education in the family.  Students are selected when they are in year 12 and are supported until they leave University.

 Mike and Dolly Amos were born in Guyana, South America and were married in 1953. They were both teachers and in 1961 Mike came to England.  In 1963  he was joined by the rest of the family, Dolly his wife and children, Valerie ( baroness Amos  - former Leader of the house, and present High Commissioner to Australia ) , Colleen and Michael.

Mike and Dolly devoted their lives to teaching and believed in the power of education as a way to a better future.  Mike said that, “education was not a guarantee of great wealth or riches of great wealth or riches but it was the guarantee against abject poverty”.

They believed in mentoring and during their life they mentored and supported many young people  who were all pursuing their dreams in  the UK

In February 2008, both Dolly (78) and Mike (81) passed away. Their children, grandchildren and close friends have set up this bursary in their memory.

The Amos’s were passionate about education. The bursary is a tribute to them and  aims to provide the opportunity to address the imbalances in higher education by supporting outstanding students  by helping them to attend University  and enter corporate professions within British society.
