Alexander De Kegel – MSc Economics & Strategy for Business  2015

Crowd Scholar is a charity (registration number: 1174788) committed to creating a community-led scholarship programme to help high-achieving students from disadvantaged backgrounds attend university. We strongly believe that these exceptional students deserve to be supported, recognised, and encouraged. We launched our initial campaign in 2017 and received 95 applications from students across the country. After reading hundreds of essays and teacher recommendations and after hours of interviewing applicants, three scholarships winners were picked. Check out our website for their details!

While we have an initial pot of £ 5,000 to award our scholarship winners. Our charity focuses on harnessing the power of the crowd to build this number up. However, Crowd Scholar differs from mainstream crowdfunding platforms in a few key respects:

• Qualified candidates: As noted, all Crowd Scholar students progress through a competitive and holistic application process; you can be sure that your donations are going to those who need and deserve it the most
• Depth over breadth: £10,000 towards one student’s education makes a bigger difference than £100 to one hundred students’ educations. Donations are made into a central pool to award to the three winners, ensuring efficient allocation
• Full transparency: Everything we see donors see. This includes candidates’ full applications, the donations received, and how funds are allocated
• Engagement: All donors become a vital part of Crowd Scholar and have a say in how the scholarship is run. Crowd Scholar is charity by democracy

Eduardo Florez – Full-Time MBA 2005

Social Enterprise created with the simple ethical idea of supporting coffee-growing communities in Colombia through selling an excellent product directly from them. We want to connect UK coffee lovers with the communities that make their coffee, and give them the opportunity to make an honest and positive difference to the world and enjoy good coffee at the same time.

Many coffee-growing communities in Colombia suffer from high levels of poverty and the associated problems of lack of education, health services and life opportunities. In addition, many are in areas that have been badly affected by violence and civil war, and some have had to leave their homes and livelihoods. We aim to use social media, art and photography to tell their stories.

Part of the profits are invested back into social projects working with coffee-growing communities.  Some of these projects are developed by local NGOs who have the knowledge and expertise. Some we have developed ourselves where we can see the need. For example, we are developing a project to work with street children in the Caribbean city of Cartagena. Cartagena is home to many families who have had to flee their homes due to violence, and often the children will make a thermos of coffee in the morning and spend their day selling espressos on the streets. We are working with families to ensure these children earn a decent wage for their work, and so can look to their future with dignity.

We truly believe that if people know more about the communities that make their coffee, and if they know that their purchase has made a positive difference to someone´s life, the coffee will taste even better.  Perhaps a last added ethical ingredient.
