Story

Providing opportunities for Undergraduate students studying at Nottingham Trent University.

On Saturday 15th December 2018, Nottingham Trent University was deeply saddened to hear of the deaths of two of its students, who were studying on the BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing and Branding course.

Becky Ward and Philippa Bertram will be remembered fondly as two highly valued students, and are missed greatly by their tutors, friends and fellow students.

The families of Becky and Philippa hope that by supporting the Student Success Endowment they will be able to support students from across the University to access opportunities that will enhance their NTU experience and future careers and help them form friendships for life.

The Student Success Endowment will support:

- Opportunity Bursaries to help students participate in events or study trips to include museums, galleries and fashion collections, which would otherwise be beyond their reach;

- To help students engage with community initiatives and events that enhance the student learning experience, and encourage students to bond and form lifelong friendships; and

- To help enable students to engage with prestigious work placement opportunities regardless of financial means.

Thank you for your support in memory of Becky and Philippa.
