Student scholarships

Scholarships provide the chance to seize a life-changing opportunity.

Honour Stephen Lawrence’s life and legacy


Stephen could not fulfil his dream of becoming an architect. With your support, we can offer this scholarship to more Black students who want to achieve a career in architecture.

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.

Give to our Student Scholarship Fund today and:

  • 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 Student Scholarships Fund will go to where the need is greatest.

Establish a scholarship

If you would like to establish a new scholarship or extend one of our existing scholarships to additional students, please contact Mary Davies, Associate Director, Alumni and Fundraising. Below are some of the university's established scholarships.

  • John’s [donor] support has been indispensable to my academic and personal development. Not only has his generosity meant that I have been able to pursue my PhD with financial and institutional support, but it has opened a space for me to push my research to new and exciting places.
