Student potential fund

Empower the next generation. Be part of our Student Potential Fund.

The Student Potential Fund is our spark that ignites futures and empowers students to achieve their goals by funding four key areas: scholarships, wellbeing, student experience, and careers and entrepreneurship.

Whatever journey students are on, our community encourages them to stay curious and put what they learn into practice. We ask our alumni, staff, and friends to help us help students by donating to the Student Potential Fund.

Every penny raised makes it possible for students to seize opportunities that grow their knowledge, skills, ambitions and self-confidence in order to choose their future.

By donating to the Student Potential Fund, you’re allowing students to write their own story of excellence at the university and beyond. You’re igniting ambition, empowering individuality and changing lives.

Students share how the Student Potential Fund has had a positive impact on their personal and academic lives, and how it has enabled them to embrace their own story of excellence at the university and beyond.

Thank you for supporting the Student Potential Fund. You can find out more about the four key areas the fund supports below.

Educational equality

Scholarships that support Black and Black Mixed Heritage students, students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, and elite athletes. More scholarships means we can attract more diverse and talented students, and create more role models for prospective student.

Kindling wellbeing openness

Our new Wellbeing Champions initiative helps students develop self-reliance and builds a supportive community. Students will be more equipped to cope with whatever life throws at them, and know they have support when they need it.

Empower experiences

The Student Experience Fund is here to enhance students’ studies, build their employability, and support a full university experience at home or abroad. We simply ask them to tell us what they need and how it will help.

Fuelling business ready brains

We’re developing our entrepreneurial and careers offers, so that students and recent graduates can develop a responsive and original mind-set that’s geared for success. With expert support, practical business skills and hands-on experience, they’ll be ready to capitalise on every opportunity.
