Middlesex alumnus launches university scholarships to support young talent
12/11/2015
Entrepreneur Tevin Tobun has launched a scholarship fund to give three underprivileged individuals the opportunity to attend university in 2016
Alumnus,
businessman and entrepreneur Tevin Tobun is hoping that his new scholarship
fund will ease the financial burden of university fees for three students who
would otherwise find university unaffordable.
The
fund was launched in August 2015 in association with Inspirational You, a
charitable group which was founded in 2010 by fellow Middlesex alumna Sonia
Meggie.
As
CEO of Gate Ventures Group (GV Group), Tevin Tobun has celebrated a multitude
of successes since graduating from Middlesex University in 2000. Having set up
GV Group in 2001, the company now employs more than 300 full and part-time
staff in the UK, and in 2009 they opened an office in the United States.
Outside
of his business, Tevin also plays an active role in ensuring that
underprivileged or disadvantaged students are given as much opportunity as
possible to reach their goals, and it is this passion that has driven his
latest initiative.
Tevin
said: "I set up this
scholarship fund because the education that I received is part of what enabled
me to become what I am today."
As
a strong advocate for giving back, Tevin feels that each generation has a
responsibility to help the next generation to succeed.
He added: "I feel
that every individual must play their part in helping the next generation, this
scholarship is just one of the ways I am able to do this."
Applications for Tevin's
scholarships are still open for all students that will be applying for
university in 2016. Applicants must
be a British citizen, aged 18 – 24 who are attending a state, secondary school
or sixth form college and who intend to go to university in the UK.
