Graduating Class Gift

A Graduating Class Gift is a £5 donation towards the support offered to Kingston University students who suffer financial hardship during their time at university. Without financial support, some students would not be able to complete their studies.

Many of us know someone who has struggled while at university. Financial hardship shouldn’t stand in the way of a student completing their degree. By coming together as a community, we can help more students reach graduation.

Make your Class Gift

Your generous gift will support the Student Support Fund, which provides assistance to students facing unexpected financial difficulties. For some students, this support can make the difference between completing their studies and having to consider leaving university.

You may remember some of the financial challenges of student life. Balancing paid work with lectures, managing unexpected bills or covering additional travel expenses can make studying more difficult. The Student Support Fund helps students facing these challenges, from the rising cost of living to unforeseen bills, extra travel expenses and small but necessary purchases, so they can keep their studies on track.

Every donation helps provide support when students need it most.

“Student hardship can be invisible, with many students facing financial stress alongside academic pressure. 

Support from alumni helps students stay on track and continue working towards their goals. 

When you give a Graduating Class Gift, you're not just giving money, you're giving someone a chance to keep going. It's an investment in potential.”
