Leeds Alumni Magazine Article
Last term, I had the privilege of working with the Alumni and Development Team at my university to promote the incredible scholarship opportunities available for students (including Laidlaw of course!)
I interviewed the vice-chancellor of my university (Prof Simone Buitendijk), was interviewed on the University of Leeds Alumni podcast (link here) and was featured in the latest edition of the Alumni Magazine!
Lord Laidlaw was an alumnus of Leeds University. The fact that I have been able to truly immerse myself in the university experience, as a first-generation student studying a law degree at a Russell Group institution, is a testament to the wonderful opportunity that the Laidlaw and Means-Tested Scholarships have created for students like myself.

Hi👋🏾 I’m Pearls
I am a final year Law student at the University of Leeds. I recently completed a placement year at The Walt Disney Company as a CPGP Contract Management Intern (hence the 'industrial' next to my degree title)
My first-year research project looked at the way game-based learning could be incorporated into Multi-Academy Trusts (aka MATs) to improve the academic attainment and classroom engagement of GCSE-year black students. My Leadership-in-Action project was with MakeSense and focused on empowering minority communities within Mexico City.
