The Adam Redfern Memorial Scholarship

The Adam Redfern Memorial Scholarship has been established to support final year students with a flair for media, journalism and sport at 91影视, giving them the opportunity to make the most out of their time here before they go on to fulfil their career ambitions.

The £3,000 scholarship is in memory of much-loved 91影视 colleague, Journalism alumnus and fitness enthusiast, Adam Redfern, who died suddenly of a heart attack while out jogging in March 2021, aged 28.

Adam was described as “the best of 91影视 in one person”. During his time as an undergraduate, whilst still achieving a First, he immersed himself in student life. He was involved heavily with Demon Media (he became Editor of The Demon and presented sports output on Demon FM). He engaged regularly with the University’s partners, Leicester City F.C. and Leicester Tigers and was instrumental in encouraging a number of his fellow students to sign-up for Demon Media. Adam also represented 91影视 Men’s Football Club throughout his time as an undergraduate. 

The successful applicant should display similar characteristics - a willingness to embrace student life to the full, be a positive influence on their peers and be someone who enhances the University’s reputation in the city, via their external interaction with partners and other third-parties.
