Millennium Point Scholarship Winner 2025
Atiyyah Zafar won a fully funded place on Birmingham City University’s Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence course. Atiyyah impressed the judges with her passion for closing the digital skills gap in the West Midlands using AI tools. She said:
“Winning the scholarship made me feel really validated, and like all my efforts had been seen. It feels like this is the first time I’ve been able to actually voice my opinions about what’s going on in the West Midlands. A lack of digital skills has led to high unemployment, growing inequality, and increased online risks in the region."
