We can't do it without you.

As a Durham graduate, you will know how attending university can be life-changing. You may have met life-long friends or explored new passions that defined your future career.

Due to high living costs requests for financial support are at an all-time high. As a result, many students are picking up more part-time hours at the expense of their studies, or have dropped out.


When you make a gift to support students at Durham, you alleviate their financial pressures allowing them to focus on their studies. With your help, they can realise their full potential.

 

Meet Hannah

Hannah is a second-year Theology and Religion student from County Durham. She is the first in her family to attend university thanks to her alumni-funded scholarship.

It had been her dream to attend university at Durham but due to high costs, she was worried the financial strain would prevent her from completing her degree. In her words, this scholarship 'changed everything'.

Hannah can pursue her goal of becoming a teacher and focus on her studies without working too many part-time hours. And this is thanks to the powerful donations from our alumni community.

Had it not been for the support of an alumnus like you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
