Although we hope that most young people will decide to come to university, we know that it is difficult to make important life decisions when you feel restricted by financial worries.
Getting the grades is not always enough. Students have to consider how they will pay for their tuition, accommodation and living costs. They may need to balance their time with work or looking after loved ones. They may also be the first in their family to go to university and not feel confident that they are making the right choice.
Through the combined donations of our alumni and supporters from the newly launch Annual Fund, student scholarships funding can:
- Make a direct impact: Your donation makes higher education accessible to students who might otherwise be unable to afford it, potentially changing the course of their lives.
- Leave a legacy: Establishing or contributing to a scholarship allows you to leave a lasting legacy that continues to benefit others for years to come.
- Reduce inequality and promote diversity: Scholarships can help level the playing field, giving talented students from all backgrounds a chance to succeed and provide opportunities to underrepresented students.
- Enhance career prospects: Funding scholarships that also offer internships and networking opportunities can enhance a graduate's career prospect and help address skills shortages in particular industries.
- Honour an individual: You can create a scholarship in memory of a loved one or to honour someone who has made a difference in your life.
When bright, capable people miss out on university and other life-changing opportunities, we know that there is a much higher cost to society - which is why we need your help.
Your donation to the Annual Fund will go to where the need is greatest to support student scholarships.
