UCU Scholarships Fundraiser
Donation protected
This campaign is part of the UCU Scholarship Dinner initiative. Buy your tickets for the dinner here .
Currently, UCU can provide partial scholarships for approximately 60 students (only one student has a full scholarship). More than half of scholarship applicants (who have already been accepted to UCU) get denied because of lack of funding, many of which consequently cannot attend UCU. By expanding the funding available for low income students who otherwise could not attend UCU, we would provide those students with a greater chance at social mobility through its excellent education and network.
On the surface, there are many benefits to increasing socioeconomic diversity. These include inciting richer classroom discussion stemming from a wider range of perspectives, stimulating critical thought across different patterns of socialization, and creating a more realistic representation of the world outside campus. But there is a deeper level by which a socioeconomically diverse student body can function to enhance the social and personal growth of all students. For these reasons, increasing socioeconomic diversity has become one of UCU’s most important aims.
Your donation will be given to a student in need of financial and increase socioeconomic diversity at UCU.
Our goal of 17,500 equals one year's full scholarship for a non EEA student.
All donors that contribute 100 euros or more will have their names published in the first Boomerang edition of the Fall 2017 semester. Alternitavely, donations can be made anonymously.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to [email redacted].
