Opportunity Manchester

Opportunity Manchester inspires deserving students to raise their aspirations and to realise their potential at Manchester.

Opportunity Manchester scholarships are offered to high achieving undergraduate students joining the university who come from backgrounds which are under-represented in higher education, especially those from the Greater Manchester area. They are valued at £1,000 and aim to support students from low income backgrounds during their first year of study.

For those who might otherwise miss the chance of realising their potential, this is a real and significant opportunity.

The scholarships complement the University’s own scholarships programme, allowing Manchester to offer one of the most generous needs-based scholarships programmes in the UK.
