The annual fund

The annual fund provides critical support for key projects at the university and helps initiatives that would not receive support from any other channel.

Access RGU scholars completing their first semester.

For some students, support has meant the difference between staying at home and attending international, multicultural, educational opportunities, like the Willem C Vis International Arbitration Moot or the Go India Project. These experiences help students to develop skills for their chosen disciplines and gives them invaluable international and multicultural networking opportunities that shouldn’t just be for those that can afford it themselves.

Through funding, scholarships have also been made available to those who meet the widening participation criteria. This supports students financially as well as academically, as each scholar has access to a dedicated study skills advisor. The programme also supports students’ career progression, with some being given the opportunity of a mentorship programme or a summer placement. This gives students valuable experiences, builds their confidence and improves the skills that they’ll take into the workforce.

Donations extend financial hardship support to talented RGU students, they aid student led extra-curricular activities such as student clubs, societies and support-services and in doing so add real value to the student experience.

Funding from our alumni has also supported research projects, including funding to create industry links that started the ball rolling on research into climate change. It also allowed exploratory research into the psychology of physical health and exercise to continue.

The partnership between the university, alumni and all our benefactors provides a foundation on which we can achieve our ambitions. Through making a contribution to the annual fund, alumni will change tomorrow for current and future generations of talented RGU students.
