Our Many Hands Make Light Work appeal recently came to an end, and we’ve been heartened by the support of 464 alumni donors who helped us raise £38,337. With this support we will be able to provide more hardship bursaries for Northumbria students and help them to:
• pay for
accommodation, food, utility, and childcare costs;
• buy learning resources, kit
and equipment;
• take part in field trips and
transformational placement opportunities; and
• attend job interviews to
support their development beyond Northumbria.
We look forward to sharing further updates about Higher Education Without Barriers with you throughout this year.
With your help, anything is possible.
“I was working five days every week to pay for my rent and utility bills and, because of this, I was falling behind at university and worrying about my results. Receiving the hardship bursary has meant I can work less hours and I now have more time to focus on my studies. Thank you, Northumbria.”

“With the bursary I was able to pay for my travel and accommodation to exhibit my work in London. It gave me the opportunity to meet employers and show them my work. This has inspired me to think big about my future and the options that are open to me when I graduate.”
