Lindsay, Logan and Samantha were all extremely deserving of the scholarship and I hope it proves to be a real benefit to them.”
Samantha McColl, (41) from Glenrothes was delighted when she was told she had been successful in gaining the scholarship after all the hard work she had put in throughout the course, especially with young children at home.
Samantha said: “I am delighted to have been chosen for this scholarship. Since I am a mature student who has been out of education for quite some time, I was quite worried about coming to college but it has been such a great experience and I am so happy to have been recognised for all my hard work.”
