Global Outreach
Global Outreach enables students from the developing world to study beyond borders and fulfil their potential whilst diversifying the talent pool at Manchester.
Equity and Merit Scholarships help talented students from developing countries by providing funds to cover their living costs during their studies here, whilst the University waives the tuition fee in full. Students supported by these scholarships are studying on courses that are likely to be of greatest benefit to their home country.
The University is working closely with partner schools and agencies overseas, in Uganda, Rwanda and Bangladesh, to find students from the developing world with the academic potential to come to Manchester straight from school, or for postgraduate study. Due to the success of the Global Outreach programme, it will be made available for students in Bangladesh for the first time in 2009.
Since 2007, donors to Your Manchester Fund have contributed towards providing opportunities to 17 students from developing countries.
