A university journey that begins with you.

A place at university can transform a young person’s world. But too many bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds find barriers are in their way.

We believe that talented students should not miss out on higher education because of where they come from or how much money they have. A scholarship could be the difference between lost potential and a future doctor, teacher or scientist.

But talent needs a catalyst. Donate today and you can help students from all backgrounds say 'yes' to their university dream.

Without the scholarship I wouldn’t have been able to go to university. It’s only thanks to help that people like me can live up to their hopes and dreams in the future. The cost of living is extremely high and there are some disadvantaged students such as myself who just wouldn't be able to afford it without the help of others.
