The significance of the work of the GCU Foundation has heightened in recent years, with those from challenging backgrounds being most harshly impacted and many more being pushed into hardship.

Backed by our Founding Donor, Sir Alex Ferguson CBE, GCU Foundation is raising vital funds to help ease the added burden our students now bear. We want to support students from some of the most marginalised backgrounds to continue their educational journey ensuring finance is not a barrier.

All funds raised, through the support of generous donors, are directed to where the need is greatest providing vital scholarships and bursaries to students facing financial hardship, as well as mental health and employability support to help them reach their full potential.
