A young Port Elizabeth woman, Nadine Sampson, has realised her dream to study overseas after being awarded a prestigious scholarship by Rhodes University.

A young Port Elizabeth woman, Nadine Sampson, has realised her dream to study overseas after being awarded a prestigious scholarship by Rhodes University.

The 2012-2014 Patrick and Margaret Flanagan Scholarship, which is open to English speaking South African postgraduate women with a first class academic record, is worth R300 000 per annum for two years full-time study at any international university or tertiary institution abroad.

Describing herself as a highly motivated individual with a passion for life and a solid set of good ethics and morals, Sampson said she applied for the Flanagan Scholarship on recommendation from a friend. “To study overseas has always been a dream for me, but I never thought it would become a reality,” she said.

Sampson said she was shocked when Rhodes University Vice-Chancellor Dr Badat called her to say that she had been selected. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry; the other candidates were such strong individuals that it truly is an honour for me to have been selected,” she said.

Ms Sampson is due to start her studies at the University of Cambridge, in October this year, and plans to include at least one year of research in a Virology-related field and possibly one year focusing on the field of Biotechnology in her degree.

“I am extremely excited about my new adventure and I am looking forward to gaining exciting new knowledge and skills which I can put to good use on my return to South Africa. I look forward to the challenge of studying in a foreign country, meeting new people and also getting an insight into a country filled with history and beautiful architecture,” she said.
