The Amos Bursary was set up in 2009 to help British born, state educated, African Caribbean boys access professional careers. Every year, The Amos Bursary selects outstanding Boys of African Caribbean heritage from Inner City schools in London. These students have been identified with the ability and aptitude to pursue professional careers, but have personal, economic or social factors which could act as a barrier to their academic success.
