The Scholarship:
To celebrate Scholarships Week, we’re launching the easyfundraising scholarship! A £500 award that one student will win to help ease some of the pressures of university life, thanks to Blackbullion and easyfundraising.

How do I sign up supporters?
Most students ask family members first. But anyone can support you, parents, grandparents, wider family members, family friends, neighbours – literally anyone. Once you have created your easyfundraising account, send your ‘Refer a Friend’ link to anyone you can. (Tip: when someone uses your link to register when they’ve raised £5, you’ll get a £5 bonus).
