Russell Group and 1994 Group universities launch £4 million scholarships scheme The Russell Group and 1994 Group of universities have launched a groundbreaking £1000 scholarship for students who wish to study science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects at university.
The ‘Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships’, launched with a £3 million donation over three years, will be one of the largest private bursary or scholarship schemes in the UK, and will be administered across Russell Group and 1994 Group universities. Matched funding from government is expected to bring the total funding available to over £4 million. You can learn more about the scholarship and hear from previous Dangoor scholars in this video.
Thanks to the generous donation from Dr Naim Dangoor this scholarship will assist up to 4000 students, most from under-privileged backgrounds, to study vital science and maths-based subjects at the UK’s leading research-intensive universities.
More information on the scholarships and the universities involved in the scheme is available here
New report reveals that the international standing of UK universities is under threat from underfunding The Russell Group's new independently-researched report, Staying on top: The challenge of sustaining world-class higher education in the UK, outlines the dangers of underinvestment in Britain’s leading research-intensive universities and the wider implications for the health of the UK economy.
Commenting on this new report the Director General of The Russell Group, Dr Wendy Piatt, said:
“The UK now stands at a crossroads – without more investment in higher education, the UK risks jeopardising the competitive advantage which has made its universities the envy of the world. University underfunding also has serious consequences for the nation. As the UK’s economic competitiveness becomes increasingly dependent upon high-tech industries and skilled graduates, our leading research-intensive universities will be of increasing and crucial importance in driving future growth and prosperity."
