Applicant must meet the following criteria:
- You must be a UK student starting a degree course at Middlesex this September 2023.

Priority will be given to those who have volunteered or worked in their local community, delivering a positive social impact for others.
“I would like to thank you for awarding me with The Southern Housing Study4Success Award 2024. Your generosity has not only aided me financially, but it has also indirectly helped many youths within the London community. This award has ensured that my community work associated with the younger generation regarding football can continue. This not only provides a safe environment for the youth, but also ensures that they are spending their time productively, as opposed to participating in criminal activity such as knife crime, a serious issue London is facing. This financial aid has also meant that I can continue my charitable work. The award has also provided me with an abundance of time for myself to not only complete university work, but to also participate in activities such as playing football with my friends. This has helped me maintain a good work life balance and has positively impacted my mental health overall, allowing me to be at my best when serving the community.”

“I’d like to thank Southern Housing for recognising some of the work that me and all the people at Inventive do. After informing the other coaches of my achievement they were both overwhelmed and delighted on my behalf and it’s a great recognition of our hard work as a collective. This award is not just for me, but for all of the coaches, the parents and most importantly the players who create such a harmonious and wonderful environment at Inventive.”
