Alumni from around the world have been asked to contribute a monthly gift to support Opportunity Scholarships at the University.
With support from Brand, Digital & Creative Production, the team has called out to 5,000 alumni via post, sharing stories of current student scholars who already benefit from the generous support of alumni and friends.
An Opportunity Scholarship awards a student with a financial gift of £3,000 a year for three years.
The scholarship supports students’ living costs. They may need to purchase course materials and computing equipment which is vital to their academic success – something many other students may take for granted. A full scholarship is worth £9,000 over the course of three years.
Through the appeal, alumni are being asked to give monthly donations of £5-10.
If you see social media posts from the Loughborough Alumni accounts about giving to Loughborough and you’d like to share those with your networks, the team would be very grateful.
You can find out further information, including stories from current scholars, on the Giving website.
If you have any questions or if you wish to find out more, please get in touch. We hope that you, alongside fellow alumni and supporters, will pull together to support this worthy cause and make a difference to the next generation of Loughborough students.
