Scholarship impact

York St John is defined by its strong sense of community, reflected in the generosity of our alumni, friends, and supporters. Their contributions help ensure future students can enjoy the unique and enriching experience that makes the University so special.

Our ambition is to ensure every eligible student who applies for a scholarship can receive one. These awards provide vital financial support, as well as the confidence and encouragement students need to succeed in their studies.

How scholarships are changing lives

A donation to our scholarships fund can be transformative in the lives of our students, shaping brighter futures and fostering a more inclusive and diverse academic community.

By easing the burden of living costs, scholarships enable students who face significant barriers to education to fully engage with their studies, achieve their potential and pursue their ambitions. Students tell us that knowing someone believes in their potential strengthens their confidence, supports their wellbeing, and makes their time at university more meaningful.
