William , who also took the opportunity to check in on the progress of the College ’ s new Dunfermline Campus during his trip , added : “ I know my great-great-grandfather , George Lauder , would be so pleased to see this scholarship named in his honour continuing to be awarded in Dunfermline , enabling generations after him to benefit from learning experiences that will respond to their interest and enhance their futures .”
Camryn , a former Fife College student who studied HND Fashion , is currently in her third year at Heriot-Watt University where she is studying a degree in Fashion Branding and Promotion .
Planning for the trip is almost complete with Camryn enrolled to study two courses during her stay – Visual Branding and Graphic Design at the prestigious Pratt Institute in New York .
Camryn said : “ New York has always been my dream destination as a fashion student . However , studying and living there was something I thought to be unachievable until I was awarded the George Lauder Bursary .
“ Words cannot express how grateful I am for this opportunity , and I firmly believe that the experience and opportunities I will gain during my stay will not only significantly impact my education , but my personal growth too .”
Megan , a current Fife College student , is pursuing a BA Degree in Learning Difficulties and Disabilities . With help from William she is looking to study Adolescent Development at George Washington University alongside some volunteering work in a children ’ s residential home .
Megan said : “ I am really appreciative and feel very lucky to be given this opportunity . I believe this has the potential to change my life . It will be amazing to be able to explore another side of life while in the USA and also better myself so that I can help and inspire others .”
