Snowdon Masters Scholarships: Scholarships for people with disabilities to study in the UK
Last year, we were more than happy to get to meet the amazing team from the Global Disability Hub. They do fantastic stuff and they are very dedicated to their work. In their hub, they also promote opportunities for people with disabilities and this is one of them.
