A Year Abroad
The UK Friends of Lakefield College School is a charity founded in order to reflect the gratitude of British Alumni who attended The Grove during WWII. Today, the charity is funded by LCS graduates living in Europe and is overseen by a group of alumni living in the UK.
In 1980, the UK Friends established the British Alumni Travelling Scholarship to provide financial support to a graduate of Lakefield College School to live independently for eight months outside of the Americas, predominantly in Europe, beginning their adventure in the UK.
This year we are pleased to announce that the trustees have decided to appoint two scholars of the 2018 British Alumni Travelling Scholarship – Lily Coates and Nick Latimer. Their awards mark more than 50 LCS alumni who have benefited from this scholarship.
Lily looks forward to rediscovering her roots in London, and immersing herself in different cultures during her year abroad, "I really want to go back to rediscover the city that I spent such a big part of my childhood in. I would love to travel around the Scandinavian countries as well. I have always been drawn to these countries—but I have never had a chance to visit them."
Nick sees this year as an integral point as he looks towards his future, "As this year has progressed, I understand, and believe that this experience is something that will let me make the most valuable contribution to my future as I move forward with a leadership role in the field of psychology research. Having a well-rounded social understanding of culture and geography will allow me to thrive in meeting new people and making connections." Nick shares, "The most significant lesson I have learned at Lakefield College is to never close my imagination…this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to build the best version of myself possible."
Lakefield College School is grateful to the UK Friends for the support of our alumni.
