Scholarships: Opening doors at Bristol

For students from underrepresented backgrounds, a scholarship is life-changing. Thanks to you, students such as David, Beth, and Gembisola are able to pursue their career ambitions and feel truly supported at Bristol.

Futures Scholarships

Futures Scholarships broaden horizons. The programme provides students from lower-income backgrounds with £2,000 of funding in their first year, and an additional £2,500 to be used at any time towards employability opportunities. 

Your support helps to reduce the financial anxieties and pressures that students face in their first year at University. It also helps students to undertake work and internship opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach, due to financial constraints.

Black Bristol Scholarships

The Black Bristol Scholarship programme was launched to improve the representation of Black students at Bristol. This sector-leading programme provides funding for students on a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University.

Sanctuary Scholarships

Sanctuary Scholarships are a tangible way to create opportunities for people from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds, many of whom will have lost their way of life. In these incredibly turbulent times, it's vital that we come together to support forcibly displaced people.

As well as opening up a whole world of opportunities for the students who receive them, your donation will give refugee and asylum-seeking students the chance to build friendships and find a new home in the Bristol community.

Scholarships change lives. They create opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. You can give even more passionate, intelligent and determined students the opportunity to study and thrive at Bristol.
