Henderson Opportunity Fund
The Henderson Opportunity Fund offers a one-off grant of £500, helping students access valuable opportunities to develop their skills, broaden their experience and support their future ambitions.
Each year, undergraduate students studying in the School of Architecture, Built Environment, Computing and Engineering can apply for a one-off grant of £500. The funding is intended to help cover course-related or career-enhancing expenses that might otherwise be out of reach.
There are 100 grants available for eligible students to apply for. Recipients are selected through a formal process, with priority given to applicants from low household income backgrounds who require financial support to thrive in their studies.
Applications will open in Autumn 2026 and Spring 2027. Check back for more details soon.
