"The best feeling that I have had was when I received the email telling me I'm being awarded the MGF Scholarship. That feeling cannot be explained, and I thank you so much. I appreciate what you are doing for me and others. I hope one day I can be one of the people who create the same happiness that I felt and to help others."

"Your generosity has made such a difference in my life. I will use it to aid myself, to aid my family, and to work hard for me to achieve excellence in academia."
Rahul
"When I was informed that the Scholarship had been awarded to me, I was ecstatic and so grateful. Knowing that I will receive financial support felt like a huge weight had been lifted; this motivated me to solely focus on my studies.
This is more than just a scholarship to me. It is hope that my career aspirations will be achieved."

Monika
"I am sincerely honoured to have been selected as the recipient of the MGF Scholarship, as well as having a possibility of seeing how engineering works in real life by having a summer placement at MGF.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank MGF for their generosity, which has allowed me to have peace of mind while studying."
Syed
"Having this Scholarship has boosted my confidence as it is something I am quite proud of. Without this bursary, I would not be financially secure enough, so things would be very different for me.
Thank you to MGF for this incredible opportunity, I am grateful!"
Holly
"The MGF Scholarship has helped me hugely in getting by at university. I have been able to cut down massively on my working hours so that I could concentrate solely on my studies.
I hope that other less-advantaged students worried about the costs of going to university see my story and realise that help and support is out there for them, through both the University and its donors."
Shannon
"I would like to thank MGF for helping to make such massive improvements to my health and situation this year, without your support my grades would have suffered terribly; and another massive thank you for the opportunity to come and work with MGF on placement, I learned so much and I know how lucky I am to have had this opportunity. Thank you!"
Arooj
"My MGF Scholarship has helped me in so many ways, and I am very grateful to you for providing me with an opportunity to earn it.
I completed a summer placement at your company and I really enjoyed working in an engineering office where I was able to utilise the knowledge and skills learned on my course. It was a rewarding experience and I feel I made the most of my time there."
Jagger
"I would like to thank MGF for the opportunity that this Scholarship has given me. I could not manage the workload that I have this year if I was in the same situation as I was last year. For all the support MGF has provided me with, financial and more, I would like say thank you."
Alan
"I feel the MGF Scholarship and support has had a profound impact on my work. Without it, it would not be possible to afford this PhD. The fact that I know someone is investing in me and believing in what we can create makes me feel even more motivated and eager to accomplish it."

"Much of what I have achieved so far throughout my PhD and what I hope to achieve in the future would not be possible were it not for the support of MGF. I hereby express my gratitude to the management of MGF for their foresight and contribution to the development of the noble profession of civil engineering."

We would like to thank MGF for their incredible gift to our students and University as a whole; your support goes deeper than financial support, it has helped to prepare and empower our students on their professional journey through mentoring and placements.
