Student Support at Imperial

There are many things that can block talented students from realising their dreams, from financial challenges due to the rising cost of living to unforeseen circumstances such as ill health and family emergencies. When you donate to support students at Imperial, you are giving them every opportunity to pursue their passions and reach their full potential.

The moment a talented student secures their place at Imperial, they should have the freedom to focus on their degree and take on all the opportunities available to them. Your support makes this a reality for all Imperial students, especially for those coming from low-income families.

To our students, you are giving more than just financial assistance. You are giving them faith in their ability to thrive and care for their future. You can choose to help students in financial need, reward extraordinary students with scholarships, or assist students facing unexpected emergencies.

Support students with the most profound needs

Over the last three years, living costs in London soared by 20%, and requests for financial assistance have risen by 500% compared to pre-pandemic years. Some of our most talented students have never had it so tough managing their finances while concentrating on their studies.

Your support is a helping hand for students in need, providing them the opportunity to focus on this unique time in their lives. From excelling academically to taking on other opportunities that enrich their university experience, your generosity is what makes it possible for Imperial students to succeed.

Support students experiencing hardship

Sometimes unforeseen circumstances – sudden illness, a family crisis – can force Imperial students to put their studies on a pause. Your gift to student support offers a lifeline for students in hardship, providing a vital safety net so they can finish their degrees and go on to the careers they are so passionate about.  

Support scholarships for exceptional students

Scholarships allow the brightest students to make the most of their time at Imperial. The financial support means that Imperial students can dedicate their time and energy to focus on their studies and gain the skills and experience to help shape their future.

The President’s Scholarship attract the most talented students—wherever they are in the world, no matter their background—and enable them to focus on their studies without worrying about finances. The scholarships are funded solely through the support of donors and alumni like you, with more than 750 scholars supported in the last ten years.
