Sponsor Engagement


The International Strategy and Relations team manages the University's externally funded international scholarships.

We partner with external organisations such as the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office, foreign embassies and governments, employers, foundations and other funding bodies.

We attract the best, brightest and most diverse international students from across the world to our campus.

Welcoming Sponsors and Scholars

We oversee over 1,000 sponsored students funded by over 100 different international funding organisations and offer sponsors:

  • Academic progress reporting
  • Bespoke in-coming visits to campus
  • Dedicated events for partner sponsors and their scholars

The impact of scholarship

We have strong cross-cultural relationships with a number of foundations and organisations. Our scholars drive global change and below are a few examples.

British Council funded Women in STEM

We asked four Women in STEM climate scientists, from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, to share their experience of sponsorship.

The best and brightest

Youth leader, activist, changemaker, Tedx Speaker, social entrepreneur and Warwick undergraduate, Sana Mittar, welcomed scholars at Albukhary Foundation event.
