The Beyond 100 Bursary ensures that studying at the University of Reading feels truly special for every student,  helping ease the burden of living costs so students can focus on fully experiencing university life rather than worrying about their finances.

Open to undergraduate, master’s, and foundation students, the bursary provides a £1,500 grant to help cover everyday essentials such as food, rent, travel, books, and other core expenses. It also supports the experiences that make university memorable – joining clubs and societies, accessing the Sports Park, taking part in opportunities that build confidence and community, forming the friendships that make their time at Reading so meaningful.

This support has an immediate and lasting impact. It reduces financial stress, improves wellbeing, and enables students to invest more fully in their studies, personal growth, and involvement in campus life. These opportunities help students build a strong sense of belonging and create memories that stay with them long after graduation.

As we celebrate a century of academic excellence, we look to the future with a renewed commitment to ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive. By giving today, you will help protect the moments, connections, and experiences that make university life truly transformative.

Give a gift today and help us raise the funds to provide 100 bursaries for students studying with us at this historic time.
