Help talent take its chance
Your gift will help ensure that every bright spark, whatever their background, can start their journey of discovery at UCL.
DonateThe spirit of free thinking and open enquiry shines brightly at UCL: a place where a breadth of learning meets the brilliance of our people. Here and now, we continue to open doors for people from all backgrounds. One in four of our UK undergraduate students are from households with low incomes – proof that talent, not circumstance, is what defines success at UCL.
But we can and must do more.
London has always been our inspiration. And yet, today, it’s also one of the most expensive cities in which to live and learn. The life-changing experience we can offer is slipping out of reach for more fresh thinkers each year.
Your gift to UCL can help fund scholarships and bursaries so brilliant minds can take their place and find their community at UCL. And you can help provide essential careers, academic and wellbeing support when it’s needed most.
Ultimately, your gift, no matter the size, can help every bright spark, whatever their background, to start and thrive on their journey of discovery at UCL.
I could never have achieved my dream of studying at UCL without this financial support. This means I have been able to pursue a world-class course and believe in a future for someone like me in academia.

I’m proud of the work we do with the Financial Assistance Fund. Our aim is to make sure that no-one has to withdraw from their studies because of unexpected financial hardship. We’ve helped students find accommodation, afford food, and continue on their courses without the burden of financial worry.
