Supporting students in need
ºù«Ӱҵ scholarships and the Student Hardship Fund have an incredible impact on students who have experienced difficult times. Whether they’re from low-income households, have families of their own, or are estranged from their parents, thank you for being there when they needed you the most.
A life changing impact
We brought together some of our undergraduate scholarship recipients to find out how their scholarships are helping them.
Here’s what they had to say about what their scholarships mean to them.
The fact I was awarded a scholarship was unbelievable to me, as I finally had the freedom to live like a ‘normal’ student. The first thing I did was buy a new laptop with Microsoft Word installed. Almost all my work is accessed online so the upgrade was certainly needed, but not something I would’ve been able to afford myself."

My uni life today is very different to what it would be without my scholarship. The biggest difference is that I don’t have to work a lot of hours at my part-time job. With this extra free time and the scholarship, I've been able to partake in extracurricular activities."

Just what does a scholarship allow our students to do?
I have found the whole experience of providing the scholarships really positive and I look forward to following the students’ onward progress. Giving the scholarships has, in my view, given me as much as it has given the students."
Scholarship donor
Your donation will make a life-changing difference to a student who would otherwise struggle to afford the cost of university.
My university experience has been completely changed thanks to my scholarship. It’s made my family proud and given me such a help during the rise in the cost of living. I wish I could show my appreciation more."
