Support our scholarships and community projects

Finances should not be a barrier to education. You can help students of all ages and backgrounds by donating towards an Alumni-funded scholarship.

"I travel home every Friday straight after my university classes to start looking after my 2 younger siblings, one of whom has severe learning disabilities and a genetic condition. Having a scholarship means I am worrying less about money and can focus on my work."

To find out more about how you can support the scholarship fund and how current students are benefiting from your support, follow the link below.

Other ways to get involved

Volunteer

If you would like to volunteer on campus, give a guest lecture or contribute in another way, get in touch with us.

If you can offer internships, work experience or graduate employment to our students, we would love to hear from you. Talking to students about your career path is another valuable way to pass on your experience. Your insight can help students to choose courses, placements and volunteering opportunities and find their first graduate jobs.

Contact us about volunteering at alumni@yorksj.ac.uk.

Corporate support

York St John University has exempt charitable status, which means that businesses benefit from offering us student placements or sponsored prizes.

Our Business development team can help your employees with career development courses. They can also strengthen your business development by offering your employees the opportunity to study degree apprenticeships.

Donate money at no cost to you

Would you like to donate money to our scholarship scheme, for free and at no expense to you?

We’ve partnered with Easy Fundraising, a platform that allows you to donate money to our scholarships fund at no cost to you.

All you have to do is create an account, choose us as your charity of choice, select a retailer, and complete your online shopping as normal. Once you’ve completed your shop at one of thousands of outlets, we’ll receive a small percentage of your total from the retailer. Your shopping won’t cost any more, and we never receive information about what you bought, or your card details.

Sign up for Easy Fundraising and support our students on the YSJ Alumni Fundraising page.
