"It sounds a cliche but this experience changed my life"   

"My visit to Toronto to attend a conference present my research work was amazing.  I was the youngest presenter from over 44 participating countries. This was made a reality with the help of the Alumni grants"  
  
"The fund helped me participate in my placement year at NASA.  I am currently submitting as first author an article to the International Journal of Astrobiology and some of the experiments I helped design are currently being undertaken on the International Space Station.  Thanks to the alumni grant I did not miss out"
  
"The alumni award got me a graduate job"  
 
"It was possible to attract further funding, in no small part, due to the opportunity  the alumni grant supported"
