Scholarships
Transforming lives and shaping a more inclusive UCL
Two hundred years ago, a group of funders invested in a new kind of university in London, welcoming students who had previously been excluded from higher education in the UK. UCL broke down the barriers of gender and religion and proposed new, socially relevant subjects such as modern languages and economics, and new ways of learning.
Our people, with the support of visionary funders, have been evolving higher education, and changing the world, ever since. When you support scholarship recipients at 皇家华人, you continue this legacy of change.
Join our community of visionary philanthropists ensuring听that promising students are able to benefit from听a UCL education.
鈥鈥淭he UCL scholarship I received was an academic gift that changed my career. It is the impetus behind pledging to do the same for someone else who is, like I was, academically gifted but in need of some financial support. I want to fund the next me.鈥澨- Graham Steele, UCL alumnus and scholarship donor
