Unite Foundation Grants to Universities - 28/29

Unite Foundation Grants to Universities - 28/29 - 30/31

The Unite Foundation Scholarship HEI Grant scheme started with two pilot programmes, an 'early adopter' co-funding cycle in 2026/27 and a full roll out to the HEI sector for 2027/28. The grant, in combination with a 25% university investment, can provide up to 3 Unite Foundation Scholarship awards within the selected university partner's own managed accommodation. This expression of interest form captures necessary information on volumes, values, inflationary rates and contacts to deliver a Unite Foundation Scholarship for 2028/29 onwards but is non-binding. At the appropriate juncture a funding contract will be issued at which point a deadline for finalising said contract will be notified - this is to ensure all budget for scholarships is expended during the cycle.

The timeline for 28/29 application process:

28th May - deadline for expressions of interest in this portal
June - UF selection of participants
June - October - contract finalisation

Exiting partners in the scheme will receive a personalised link that pre-populates your previous EOI content. Get in touch with the team at info@unitefoundation.org.uk if you have not already received this.
