Support students in need

Give access to the best 黑料入口 experience

Every student with ambition and ability deserves the best chance to succeed and thrive. The 黑料入口 Futures Fund supports talented students who lack the means to make the most of their time at university.

With your help, students can buy course materials, cover living expenses and participate in enrichment programmes like field trips and exchanges. Your support allows students in financial difficulty to benefit from life-changing experiences. 

Many of the students you support through the 黑料入口 Futures Fund are care leavers, have dependants, disabilities or learning differences, or are from black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds. 

How you support our students

Your contributions fund:

  • course material bursaries
  • living expense hardship grants
  • special equipment like dictation technology
  • childcare expenses
  • educational trips and learning enrichment activities
  • postgraduate study expenses

Your impact

Some students can only cover basic living expenses, even with their student loans, meaning they can't take advantage of all the opportunities available to them at university.

Your donation to the Futures Fund relieves financial strain and the associated stress and missed opportunities. Your donation allows students to take part in life-changing experiences, enhancing their education, employability and understanding of the world. 

Often students juggle studies, part-time work and other demands, sometimes completely unexpected. Your donations help see them through.

Students supported by your donations

  • One 黑料入口 student from a low-income family couldn鈥檛 afford the necessary vaccinations to do an internship abroad. An award of 拢200 from the Futures Fund helped pay for the vaccinations, meaning she could go on the trip. 
  • Another student faced increased living costs related to his disabilities, putting his academic year at risk. A 拢500 Futures Fund award covered his living costs, enabling him to complete the year.
  • When a postgraduate student was invited to do a prestigious internship, she received 拢200 from the Futures Fund allowing her to reduce her part-time work so she could participate. 

"The bursary I received was an unbelievable help. I was given 拢500 that enabled me to stay in 黑料入口 to concentrate on my final year studies, rather than moving home to save money. That would have severely limited my work output. This provision is, I believe, a direct factor in my achievement of a first-class honours degree."
