In 2018 Nottingham Trent is celebrating its 175th Anniversary year since the opening of its first founding institution. In 1843 the Nottingham Government School of Design opened its doors, and in the decades that followed, joined with other colleges and institutions that served the city of Nottingham and the wider region before becoming the award winning University it is today.
We have much to be proud of in providing generations of highly educated & skilled graduates from all backgrounds who have gone on to make a real and lasting difference to society.
As we celebrate this special year, we are also seeking to build on that great legacy, by ensuring that we continue to support the students who need help the most.
Who are the Students you can support today?
1 in 4 of NTU’s current student population come from families with less than £15,000 in income. As it’s our 175th year we are planning to award scholarship support to 175 of our most disadvantaged students. We will help those in real hardship, as well as those hard working students realise their potential by providing course materials, covering additional costs for trips and employment enhancing work placements, that would otherwise be out of reach.
NTU is an award winning University in part because of the dedicated efforts to bring young people into higher education from the poorest communities throughout the UK. We are a University that produces highly employable graduates that have a massive impact on wider society. But we need to ensure that this success is shared among all of our students, and that the playing field is levelled for everyone regardless of their background.
By choosing to support our students today, you are supporting those that need your help the most. Please be assured that your gift will change lives for the better, unleashing potential and creativity, and building on your University’s future, so thank you.
