Purple Pounds, feel good every payday

- The University of Manchester: Supporting Students

The University of Manchester has always been a place where bright people from all backgrounds can succeed. Your gift will provide much-needed support to students facing challenging circumstances.

One in four Manchester students grew up in a low-income household. Our large and diverse student community is one of the things that makes our University so special. But the challenges of the past few years have been tough for students everywhere. The pandemic has quickly been followed by the worst cost-of-living crisis in decades. And young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are feeling the impact more than ever.

By making a gift, you’ll join the generous community of donors who are already giving bright people from all backgrounds the chance to study at Manchester.

You’ll help deliver innovative access programmes, provide life-changing scholarships and bursaries, and increase the financial support available for students facing hardship.

Every penny you give through your pay will go directly to supporting our students. So you can be sure that you’re making a difference.
