"Before I came to Manchester, I wasn’t sure if I’d feel welcome at university. But with my scholarship, it feels like someone’s taken me under their wing. It showed me that I do belong here." - Jaiesh, second year medical student
This has been a tough year for students everywhere. In fact, one in three UK students have struggled to afford basic living expenses during the pandemic. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds have been hardest hit – and will continue to be so the in the months to come.
Thanks to more than 1,500 generous alumni, we’ll be able to offer financial support to students in need this year. But you can still make a gift to help provide scholarships to future Manchester students – and increase the funds available to those facing hardship.
Every year, a new cohort of students begin their own Manchester adventures. It’s a life-changing experience. But when you come from a low-income background, it can be incredibly difficult to say ‘yes’ to your University place.
Sadly, many talented students could be forced to let go of their dream of a University of Manchester education. Faced with the impossible task of choosing between their current needs and their future, they might abandon their plans of continuing into higher education.
That’s where you can help.
Your gift will help provide scholarships, to allow deserving students to join us at Manchester in September. And you’ll increase the financial support that’s available to them throughout their time at university.
With your support they’ll be able to learn and discover, form lifelong friendships and take part in skill-building activities. And their time at Manchester could be the first step in a career that goes on to benefit us all.
By donating today, you’ll give a bright, talented student a gift they’ll treasure for life – a wonderful education, at The University of Manchester.
