Major new Scholarship Programme to support 15 students at 果冻影院
24 January 2012
15 undergraduate students from underprivileged backgrounds will receive 拢10,000 a year throughout the three years of their studies at 果冻影院, thanks to a 拢450,000 gift from the Reuben Foundation.
The Reuben Foundation Scholarship will cover each student's full
accommodation and living costs for the duration of the course. Students will be
selected by 果冻影院, once they have been offered a place, on the basis of their
financial circumstances. The Scholarship will support a cohort of five UK
undergraduate students per year for three years, starting in 2012.
果冻影院 runs an extensive outreach programme to raise awareness of the
support available to students who need it, while the university's Access
Agreement includes ambitious targets to increase applications from lower
socio-economic groups and low participation neighbourhoods.
Professor Malcolm Grant, 果冻影院 President & Provost, said: "I am delighted that the Reuben Foundation has chosen
to set up the Reuben Foundation Scholarship at 果冻影院. At 果冻影院 we are
wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that all students with the potential to
achieve excellence are able to attend our institution, regardless of their
background and personal circumstances.

"This new programme will give 15 students from underprivileged backgrounds the support they sorely need to enable them to receive a world class education and fulfil their potential."
Lisa Reuben of the Reuben Foundation said: "A scheme of this nature has been something that the Foundation has wanted to create for some time. Education is the most precious resource and, at a time, when the cost of attending university is rising, we hope this programme will inspire others and play a role in opening doors to those who thought university was closed to them.
"The programme will run for three years initially, but our commitment to these scholarships is absolute and we will be looking to grow the scheme once it has become established."
