Warwick Scholars

Over the past decade, Warwick’s Scholars programme has ensured that gifted and talented undergraduate scholars from disadvantaged backgrounds can take up a place at university. With your donations and investment from the University, we aim to welcome 500 scholarship places per year.

Unlike traditional scholarships, Warwick Scholars creates a level playing field for all. Before a student even has a place at university, the award-winning initiative encourages under-represented young people to apply. We support students to realise their ambitions, achieve their academic potential and develop vital skills, empowering young people to achieve their dreams of a university education.

Scholars at Warwick benefit from academic support, networking opportunities and a bursary of up to £2,000 per year to help fund the costs of living and essential educational resources. In addition, students receive a 50% tuition fee discount for each year of study and academic support throughout their A-Levels.

But we can still do more. We believe that access to a world-leading university should be open to people from all backgrounds. To make this a success, we will need the support of our alumni community and friends. Your gifts fund more scholarship bursaries and enable expansion of the programme, ensuring that more young people have a chance to succeed.

Your gifts fund more opportunities, ensuring access to a world-leading university is open to people from all backgrounds.
By supporting Warwick, you can ensure everyone has a fair chance at achieving their goals regardless of where they started from.

Why your support matters

Everyone deserves a fair chance at achieving their goals. Students’ circumstances or situations beyond their control shouldn’t limit their potential. With your support we can do so much more for so many more.
