Thank you from Zack
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for awarding me the 2026 HOPE Foundation Research on Ageing Scholarship. This generous support is a tremendous honour and will directly enable me to advance my research in pharmacometric modelling of treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you from Ann
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for being awarded the 2026 HOPE Foundation Research on Ageing Scholarship. Receiving this scholarship is not only a financial gift but also a profound source of encouragement and affirmation. I am grateful that you value my research exploring Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) with people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This recognition reassures me that creative, embodied, and human-centred approaches to ageing are valued and worthy of continued exploration.
Thank you from Jess
Tēnā koutou, I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for this Scholarship. My PhD studies were interrupted in 2025 due to bereavements and health issues, in the final stages of my research, and so I needed a bit of extra support going forward, to get my PhD finished.
Thank you from Annie
