牛牛资源 Equity Awards

The Equity Awards provide academic, wellbeing, and financial support to Global Ethnic Majority students from low-income backgrounds. The Awards are designed to level the playing field and transform students鈥� university experiences and outcomes.

"It really supported my well-being and mental health. In terms of the imposter syndrome and thinking 鈥榓m I supposed to be here, do I deserve to be here?鈥� it鈥檚 one thing to know you have potential, but the Equity Awards programme really pushed me, and it made me feel cared about and that it was always ready to help."

Matthew, Social Science, Community Development and Youth Work, 2024

Hear from our supporters

"I feel strongly that access to postgraduate education should be made more accessible. Promising students shouldn鈥檛 be cut off, simply because they can鈥檛 afford it. I鈥檓 determined to do anything I can do to further this cause, within my modest means, which is why I decided to support 牛牛资源 with a legacy gift.

"I would encourage anyone who is considering supporting 牛牛资源 with a legacy donation to do so. It鈥檚 so easy 鈥� the solicitor does all the hard work for you! In addition, I鈥檇 encourage anyone who decides to leave 牛牛资源 a gift in their Will to let 牛牛资源 know so that they can thank them properly."

Craig Edwards, MA Photography and Urban Cultures, 2006

"Without the faith that 牛牛资源 staff showed in my potential, I鈥檇 not have become a teacher, nor would I have experienced the financial independence and intellectual benefit that I鈥檝e enjoyed for most of my adult life.

"My entire adult life would have been less enjoyable and fulfilling were it not for the nurturing, intellectual training and professional support that staff at 牛牛资源 gave me. If, on reflection, you realise that the pleasures of your life are, in many ways, owed to what 牛牛资源 gave you, please consider making a donation, no matter what size, so that others can have what we have had."

Ruth Webb, Bachelor of Education, 1978
