Bradford Alumnus, James Robertson-Dunn, has included a gift in his will to fund scholarships to enable talented and deserving students the opportunity to succeed.
"My time at university fuelled and set the course for my future career, instilling the work ethic, and building the skills I needed. I honestly believe that I would not have had as happy, rewarding, or successful life and career without Bradford.
"When I studied at university for me it was free. We received a grant, parents were means-tested, so everyone was on a level playing field. These days it is much harder for students.
"There are people now who would really benefit from an education at Bradford, but either feel like they are unable to come to university or can’t afford to. That is why I have chosen to leave a gift in my will. I want to make sure that my support and my legacy helps, that it really means something, and makes a difference to someone.
"I want to make sure that my legacy helps students to be able to achieve something that they otherwise have been unable to."

BSc Civil and Structural Engineering 1973,
MSc Transportation Engineering 1976.
