About Robert Holman

Robert Holman was born in 1949 and died from cancer aged only 56 in 2005. The Trust was established by his family in his memory.

Rob was brought up and went to school in south London and returned to live there with his family when he began to work in London after university.  Rob was a Chartered Accountant.   He undertook training and qualified straight from school but chose to go on and study at university, gaining a degree in economics from the University of East Anglia. He had a very successful career, ending up being a partner in Ernst and Young.  He enjoyed his job and was committed to helping those who worked for him to further their careers. Because of his experience as a mature student he was also a supporter of higher education.  For all these reasons his family felt that a bursary offered for subjects he was familiar with in an area of London he knew well would be a fitting way to honour his name.

Am I eligible?

As well as experiencing financial difficulty and demonstrating both a commitment to their programme and ability to complete it, eligible recipients must be a second or third year student living within the London boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham or Southwark. 

How to apply

Students studying on eligible programmes will be directly invited to apply.
