Jarvis Homes Ltd

Students from architecture course

Jarvis Homes Ltd fund the Jarvis Centenary Scholarship which offers an annual scholarship to an undergraduate and postgraduate student. It was first awarded in 2007 and to date, 21 students have been supported by the awards.  In 2022 the award was re-focussed to foster a clearer connection with Jarvis’s origins, supporting an undergraduate scholarship for those studying Architecture or Civil Engineering, and a postgraduate scholarship part-sponsoring research related to house-building.

The company’s motivation to donate is expressed clearly by Mike Peters, CEO of Jarvis Homes, who says:

“As a long-standing local employer, we believe it is important to invest in our community and our future generations. Our legacy should be beyond bricks and mortar.”

Roche is keen to support the local communities in which it has offices as well as encourage and help develop early careers talent wherever and from whatever background it comes. Working with the University of Hertfordshire by providing bursaries and employability skills support for students from minority or disadvantaged backgrounds helps Roche to meet both these key aspirations, and rather delightfully, although not an aim of the partnership has even lead to recipients being hired into the company. Roche are absolutely delighted to be moving into a third year of partnership with the University of Hertfordshire in this capacity.
