An update on the Bradford Futures Fund
The University has responded to the current cost of living crisis by increasing the Bradford Futures Fund annual award to £1,500, an increase of £500 from the previous year. This uplift will make a bigger impact to those in most need of support.
We are determined to increase the number of students these scholarships can make a difference to, and this will only be possible with your help.
