The main goal of the BAFTX Graduate Award is to provide financial help to individuals who are from the UK or Texas, USA and who are planning to further their education in their chosen STEM or business field and at the same time struggle with financial difficulties.
The foundation has noticed that educational expenses are high and that many people who have great educational achievements do not attend higher education institutions due to their inability to pay those expenses.
