Student Opportunities Fund

When you give to the Student Opportunities Fund, you’ll join a community of alumni that makes amazing things possible. Donors to the fund help to ensure that every student can thrive, even in the most challenging circumstances. 

From emergency hardship bursaries to grants that enable life-changing development opportunities, your support will mean that students are supported when they need it most. 

Gifts to the Student Opportunities Fund could support; 

• Employability grants to enable students to attend interviews, participate in internships or develop skills though training. 

• Access to hardship support for students in financial need.

• Arts funding to enable students to develop performance skills and pursue interests related to art, music and theatre.

• Travel grants so students can undertake ground-breaking global research and outreach work.

Behind every gift is a student whose journey has been shaped by your support. Below are just a few examples of what your generosity makes possible.
