A scholarship can transform the course of a student’s life forever. Whose future will you change?
Right now students are facing unprecedented financial pressures, and these soaring costs can be a real barrier to coming to university, and may prevent them from completing their studies.
Recent analysis by dataHE showed an unprecedented fall in university entrance rates for under-represented groups, and these groups are also less likely to complete their studies (Office for Students). A report by the Students’ Union has also indicated that nearly two thirds of our students have considered leaving Canterbury Christ Church University because of the cost-of-living crisis.
This is why, with your help, we have introduced a series of Futures scholarships aimed at supporting new and existing students with £5,000 a year for each year of their study.
Studying for a university education can feel completely out of reach for some people. With your help, we can change that.

I’ve always wanted to be a nurse but had been worried about the cost of coming to university. When I found out I’d been awarded a scholarship, it was so overwhelming I cried! It was the spur I needed to commit to my place. I’m the first person in my family to come to university, and I’m hoping that my influence will rub off on my siblings. This scholarship is helping me with the cost of coming to university so I can achieve my dream of becoming a children’s nurse.

Without my scholarship I wouldn’t be able to continue studying to be a teacher. It's also a real motivator for me. It’s made me want to work harder because I earnt this place and I need to do everything in my power to stay here, so my grades have improved.
