As we all know education is a necessity to our society, and with pandemic keeping us all quarantined at home, our motivation has not been at its full capacity. However Manchester University is offering a unique incentive to 2020 high school graduates, that have applied to their school. The university is offering eligible incoming freshmen four years of tuition free schooling. This is their way of showing that they care for their students. With that in mind they also want existing students to know that they are being looked out for as well and are allocating monies to help ease their financial worries too!
