UEA SCHOLARSHIPS: THE NUMBERS

We look back on the astounding difference that donors to The Difference Campaign have made to students’ lives.

Preparing For Medicine Scholarships

Previously known as the Medical Aspirations Scholarships, medical students from East Anglia with backgrounds underrepresented in the profession have been supported from college through to graduation. We are deeply grateful to David Tibble (SOC70) for his support.

Creative Writing Scholarships

UEA’s prestigious creative writing programme is globally recognised. Our alumni have won or been shortlisted for every major literary award in the UK. Our generous philanthropists have given writers at UEA the time and space to develop their unique voices and go on to make their impact on world literature.

Santander Universities Scholars

Santander Universities empower students in education, entrepreneurship and employability whose ambitions aren’t always matched by their means. Their longstanding dedication to higher education has brought 119 students to UEA during The Difference Campaign.

Difference Scholarships

Funded entirely by generous alumni and friends of the University through monthly or annual gifts, 125 Difference Scholarships have been awarded during the campaign. 63 postgraduate and 62 undergraduate students were supported to fulfil their potential through university education.

Scholars

Philanthropic giving brought students from countries worldwide to UEA during The Difference Campaign. This generosity enhanced UEA’s global identity and enriched our University community. In the past 12 months, students have arrived from Lebanon, India, Greece, Kenya, Nigeria, the USA and many more countries.
