Ignite Fund

The Ignite Fund is a matched funding opportunity which gives all students at the University of Westminster the opportunity to apply for funding for projects and activities which help to ignite their employability and professional development.

Support us

Our students form one of the most diverse student populations in the country. Like our philanthropist founder Quintin Hogg, we offer opportunities to those who have the aspirations and ability to learn and to put their learning into practice in their working lives, whatever their background. However, there is more to be done to ensure that we can continue to offer these opportunities.

Scholarships

So many talented potential students miss out on a University education, simply because they do not have the funds to support the costs associated with tuition and living. For international students, or for those balancing family or work commitments alongside their studies, the pressures can be even greater.

Westminster celebrates wide range of scholarships available to tackle inequalities

On 22 February, the University of Westminster hosted an in-person Scholarship Celebration Event that honoured and recognised the achievements of the University’s scholars and the generosity of their dedicated funders.
