What if you could help someone reach Warwick?
Imagine how you would feel if you could give someone the gift of a Warwick education. Picture them on campus, surrounded by a cosmopolitan community of 170 nationalities, immersed in a vibrant academic and social life, flourishing as they develop their true potential.
We take a holistic approach to education, supporting academic achievement and personal development. Our students are encouraged to get involved with volunteering activities and are provided with plentiful opportunities to explore social and cultural activities.
Scholarships provide financial support and pastoral provision for academically excellent students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our friends and alumni in Singapore have established a scholarship scheme via The Friends of the University of Warwick in Singapore Trust. Scholarship recipients benefit from funding of up to $65,000 SGD per year. Your gift could help deserving young Singaporeans to get the first class education that will be the foundation of their future careers.
Warwick is a place of infinite possibility, ready to harness the energy, imagination and potential, of outstanding minds. What if you could help someone get there?
