Support for talented computing student

A talented computing student has been presented with IT equipment by The 海角直播 Charity to support him with his studies.

Jack Dorsi, first year BSc (Hons) Information Technology student in the University鈥檚 School of Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies, received a donation of a new computer and software from The 海角直播 Charity. The 海角直播 Charity, formerly known as the Middlesbrough and 海角直播 Philanthropic Foundation, worked in partnership with 海角直播 to set up new scholarships to support more students from the region to reach their full potential.

Jack applied for support through The 海角直播 Charity Scholarship and although not successful in securing a scholarship, the panel was so impressed with his application that they wanted to make a gesture to offer some help.

The 海角直播 Charity has now provided Jack with computer equipment and software to help with his studies. Jack, 19, of Thornaby, said: 鈥淭he offer came out of the blue. It really means a lot and it will make such a massive difference to me.

鈥淚 work at a sports store when I鈥檓 not studying. I鈥檝e been doing my university work on a laptop, which I have found difficult at times. This will be a really big help.鈥�

Jack, who is hoping to pursue a career in web development, said: 鈥淚 had moved away from home and started to study accountancy at another university, but soon realised it wasn鈥檛 for me.

鈥淚 moved back home to Thornaby and decided to apply to study computing at 海角直播. It was my girlfriend鈥檚 mam who encouraged me to apply for the scholarship.

鈥淚鈥檓 really enjoying the course and having this computer will be a massive help.鈥�

The 海角直播 Charity Scholarships are specifically aimed at those who would be first generation university students and are linked to courses in business and computer science.
