£50 per month or £600 will help to fund a PhD scholarship for a talented researcher. You’ll help them take the next step in their research career and drive crucial discoveries.

£100 per month or £1,200 will fund an entire year of an undergraduate scholarship. Meaning you’ll be there for a bright student, every step of their 18HÂþ»­ journey.

Being part of the 18HÂþ»­ Made community

It feels great being a donor to 18HÂþ»­ - it reconnects me to my university and I love seeing how I’m helping.

When I graduated, I made sure to set up a regular gift so that help is consistently there for those who need it most. I don’t think of it as something I give, rather as something I give back. I benefited so much, I see it as my duty and my privilege to pay that forward where I can. It fills my heart with joy to do something for those who need the same support I had.
