Help students unleash the power of education
By making a generous gift to support scholarships or bursaries, you can help to create a fairer, more equitable society and empower ambitious and motivated students from all walks of life to reach their potential.
We're commitment to ensuring the benefits of higher education are within everyone's reach, no matter their circumstances.
Equity scholarships provide students facing systemic barriers the reassurance they need to know they can manage their tuition fees, cost of living and accommodation expenses while at university.
Emergency bursaries provide financial relief during difficult times, allowing students experiencing financial hardship to continue their studies and purchase essential items like textbooks.
For many students, receiving a scholarship or bursary has a far greater impact on their university experience than the financial support it provides. Knowing that someone believes in them can be a great motivator for success.

The impact of your gift
With your help, we will build a society where leadership is open to all and every student has the opportunity to take on great global challenges.
