Stewart McLaughlin Scholarship celebrates its third year
The Stewart McLaughlin Scholarship provides a transformational bursary covering one year of accommodation costs for a first-year MSci Paramedic Science student.
Andy McLaughlin, Keele alumnus, son of Stewart McLaughlin who the scholarship is named after, and Managing Director of MIS Group, says:“ Chris McLaughlin and I are so proud to continue this programme with the excellent team at Keele University. We shouldn’ t underestimate the value of our paramedics and what they deal with on a day-to-day basis, so hopefully this helps in a small way. Through our subsidiary, MIS Emergency Systems, we work with paramedics and ambulance professionals on a daily basis, and we both feel it is important to give back to the sector and this is one way we can achieve that, by supporting our next generation of outstanding paramedics”.
The second recipient of the scholarship, Eunice Kisoka, said:“ I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both Andy and Chris McLaughlin for their generosity in providing me with this scholarship.
This support has given me financial security, allowing me to purchase essential supplies such as uniforms, a stethoscope, and textbooks.
“ Beyond covering these necessities, this scholarship has enabled me to fully engage in my academic journey, fostering both resilience and personal growth. By alleviating financial stress, it has allowed me to focus wholeheartedly on my studies and work toward achieving academic and professional success.
“ This incredible opportunity has truly enhanced my university experience and future prospects.”
