Academic excellence and a warm community: the success of Worcester College - your College - today stands on these foundations. We are proud to regularly receive more applications than any other college, to dedicate thousands of pounds annually to ensuring every student flourishes, and to foster an extraordinary multidisciplinary community of world-class academics.
Why does Worcester need support?
Unlike many other colleges, Worcester wasn't founded with a big endowment - but we do have big aspirations! In a time when funding is being cut (each undergraduate costs the College £5,000 annually, despite high tuition fees) and global competition for bright minds is intense, we are committed to maintaining our high standards and high levels of support for those studying here. This is only possible with the help of Old Members and friends like you, giving to the Worcester Fund.
What difference will I make?
By giving to the Worcester Fund, you allow College the flexibility to direct your donation where the need is greatest. It might be helping a student who falls into financial hardship, supporting a researcher early in their career, or assisting with retrofitting a building to become more eco-friendly. Donations to the Worcester Fund ensure Worcester thrives today and long into the future.
A message from OM and Assistant Chaplain Matthew
Worcester is a comfortable, reliable home-from-home. I believe that as Old Members, we have the responsibility to give the same opportunities to future generations of students as we enjoyed ourselves.
