Businesses and other organisations are being invited to sponsor awards for students on a wide variety of courses across the whole university. Sponsoring an award gives businesses the opportunity to support a student with a potentially life-changing, as well as career-changing prize.
By pledging £1,000 per annum for three years, a new annual Breakthrough award worth £500 will be set up for the subject area each sponsor feels most strongly about, with the award being named in consultation with the sponsor. The remaining £500 of the contribution will be directed towards one of the university’s student experience projects such as the Student Support Fund or one of the many student scholarship programmes.
