Tycoon’s help for students
YOUNG people from some of Scotlands most deprived areas are to get the chance of a university education thanks to a retail tycoon. Pupils from parts of Glasgow will have the opportunity to study law at Caledonian University with the help of a scholarship from businessman Paul Green.
The scheme will see Mr Green donate five bursaries each of 1,000 annually for the four-year bachelor of law degree - a total of 20,000. The scholarships are being piloted in Glasgow, with pupils from schools in the Drumchapel, Pollok and Parkhead areas eligible.
If it proves successful, the scheme could be rolled out in other parts of the country. Mr Green has been developing retail outlets across Glasgow for more than two decades.
