Who we work with

The University of East London has been pioneering futures since 1898: from the 2nd Industrial Revolution through to where we are now, the 4th. They are a careers-led university, dedicated to supporting our students to develop the skills, emotional intelligence and creativity needed to thrive in a constantly changing world.

The UEL Scholarship is designed to give Gateway Qualifications’ Access to HE students extra financial support as they embark on their studies at the university. The scheme will recognise the significant commitment and sacrifices that students make to realise their ambitions of going to university. Approved providers are asked to nominate up to two students that could benefit from the scholarship fund.

Five students will be chosen by Gateway Qualifications to each receive £1,000 payable in their first year of study at UEL.

Nominees must:

1. Have demonstrated outstanding commitment to their Access to HE studies. This could be in the face of difficult and challenging personal circumstances or extra effort above and beyond that which would normally be required of a student.

2. Demonstrate strong motivation in studying programmes offered at the University of East London

3. Firmly accept the University of East London as their first choice through UCAS

We’ve collaborated with UEL to produce flyers Centres can use to explain the benefits to their staff and students. Please download, print, and share them. There is space for you to add appropriate contact details if you want to use the student flyer in your own promotion of Access to HE.
