Having already partnered with the Foundation, the University of Manchester has now made a transformational new commitment to provide 21 Scholarships, worth over £1m.
We are thrilled to announce a new step forward in our existing partnership with the University of Manchester. Previously committed to providing two Cowrie Scholarships, they have generously increased this to 21 Scholarships over the next few years.
Not only have they committed fees, they are also supporting with extra funding towards maintenance, making this truly transformative support.
Professor April McMahon, Vice-President for Teaching, Learning and Students, told the Foundation:
“We are extremely proud to have entered into a long-term partnership with The Cowie Scholarship Foundation to provide 21 scholarships for talented Black British students starting at The University of Manchester between 2022 and 2028. This builds on the 11 scholarships we confirmed with the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation for 2022 and 2023 entry. We believe this is an important opportunity to harness education for positive change. It reinforces our ongoing commitment to the provide the environment and the financial support to enable students from a wide range of backgrounds to thrive.”
The University’s support is a significant boost in our mission to secure pledges for the fees of 100 places, for which we are hugely grateful.
