About Crowd Scholar
Crowd Scholar is an England & Wales-registered charity (no. 1174788) dedicated to providing scholarships to high-achieving students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In addition to financial grants, our Crowd Scholars receive personalised support and mentoring throughout university.
We select Scholars annually through a competitive application process.
By recognising and supporting exceptional students from disadvantaged backgrounds, we hope to inspire others in similar positions across England & Wales. Help us send a clear message: there are many that will help you along the way.
