Forever Surrey Fund
The Forever Surrey Fund provides crucial support across the University. The Fund supports students in unexpected hardship, students undertaking scholarships and helps our clubs and societies to grow. This has had a huge impact on the lives of countless students at Surrey.
Reasons why we need your support
The Forever Surrey Fund has supported:
- Students receiving life-changing hardship grants, giving crucial support to those who suffered unexpected hardship and may have had to leave the University without access to these funds.
- Students from disadvantaged backgrounds were given funding to allow them to take up a business placement. This gave them an inspirational placement year in industry working for some of the leading companies around the world, significantly increasing their future employability for when they leave Surrey.
- 26 Surrey clubs and societies were given funding allowing them to offer our students transformational experiences, ensuring they can compete at the highest levels. This includes the Canoe Club who received a grant to purchase modern river running kayaks for beginners. This means that the fleet has enough equipment to be inclusive to all it's members and the club can grow.
