Paola was nominated for a CDCT Grant by her tutors due to her positive approach to her studies, her selflessness, determination and engagement, and for optimising the Cam-do spirit in all she does. She was deservedly awarded £500 from The CDCT.

At the time of receiving The CDCT Grant in January 2024, Paola was a second year Graphic Design student studying at Nottingham Trent University.

‘Paula is an extremely dedicated and creative individual who demonstrates a great deal of self-reliance along with an autonomous attitude towards her work. Paola is a friendly and helpful member of her cohort, engaging in all course activities and as a direct entry student this year, has settled in really well. She has a real passion for graphic design as a subject, and it is our pleasure to nominate Paola for a Grant this year from The CDCT.’
Rob Newton & Jess Harris, Senior Lecturers

Paola is delighted to have been recognised by her tutors and The CDCT, and plans to use the Grant to put towards a new tablet to enable her to work outside of taught sessions at home rather than in the library.
