Alumni make lifechanging donations to Opportunity Scholarships

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our alumni community, donations to our recent Opportunity Scholarships appeal have fully funded a £9,000 scholarship for a Loughborough student.

Opportunity Scholarships provide students from low socioeconomic backgrounds with a scholarship of £3,000 a year for three years. 

In 2024, of the 50 Opportunity Scholarships awarded, 94% of the students were from backgrounds with a household income below £18,000.

In our most recent callout, we asked for donations of £5-10 per month, and the Loughborough family has pulled together to create a full scholarship. From brand-new donors to renewed generosity from our donor community, the response has been amazing. 

To everyone who has donated – thank you. Your kindness is creating better futures for Loughborough students. 

If you haven’t yet, there is still time to make an impact by supporting an Opportunity Scholarship.
