Higher Education Without Barriers

Everyone with the potential to go to university should have the opportunity to achieve their goal. We are committed to Higher Education Without Barriers. Your help will ensure no one is left behind.

The opportunity to go to university can be life-changing, but unfortunately for some it can be beyond their reach due to social or economic circumstances. Together, we are changing this. Through the Higher Education Without Barriers Fund, we are providing a range of financial initiatives, mental health and wellbeing services and community-based projects to make participation and progression in higher education more achievable for academically talented students regardless of their social or economic circumstances.

Donations to the Higher Education Without Barriers projects currently total:

£3,205,229

This money has helped to support over 2000 students across the Northumbria University community.

With your help anything is possible and we will continue to build on this success, making a difference and changing lives.

SCHOLARSHIPS

HARDSHIP

"For someone who is thinking of giving to the University I would say this - you have benefited from the university so in return be generous whether it be money, time or effort"

Wee-Teng Woon, Philanthropist and Northumbria University Alumnus

“Receiving the PhD Studentship has been a great opportunity for me. Without it, it would have been very difficult for me financially to undertake a PhD and thanks to this support I have been able to gain new skills and experience in an area I am extremely passionate about”

Student recipient of the Lady Edwina Grosvenor Scholarship

“It was exciting to come back to Northumbria after almost three decades, and to meet with so many talented and entrepreneurially-focused students. Speaking with them about my own career and the lessons I have learnt by founding and building a business was a huge privilege”

Chris K. Jones, Entrepreneur and Northumbria University Alumnus

"Receiving scholarship funding from Santander Universities has opened the door to so many opportunities for me. I could not be more thankful"

Debora Schiller, Santander Universities Scholarship Recipient

"I spent four happy years at Northumbria University. Almost 25 years on from my graduation, it has clearly gone from strength-to-strength. The opportunity to meet with and deliver a lecture to students was a great way to give back"

Charlie Hampton, Founding Director & Chief Operating Officer, Pembroke and Rye and Northumbria Alumnus

“Funding a PhD studentship is my way of giving back and saying thank you, by helping someone who might not have had the opportunity otherwise. I like to think that through this I am inspiring others”

Lady Edwina Grosvenor, Philanthropist and Northumbria University Alumna
