Philanthropy in action

In the 2022/2023 academic year, our students needed more financial support from �鶹��Ӿ�than ever before. We are grateful that:

We were able to welcome 48 postgraduates thanks to �鶹��Ӿ�College scholarships
74 mature undergraduates received maintenance grants or bursaries
�鶹��Ӿ�help 88 students to continue in their studies when faced with unexpected financial hardship

This vital support would not have been possible without the generous backing of our alumni and friends.

This year, two extremely generous �鶹��Ӿ�alumni funded our first fully-endowed College studentships, securing access to education and research at �鶹��Ӿ�in perpetuity. Further significant gifts this year have enabled us to partner with other University institutions– Departments, Faculties, the Cambridge Trust – to offer fully funded PhD studentships to our top postgraduate applicants. The value – and impact – of a donor’s gift is routinely more than doubled in these partner-funding arrangements.

In every case, these awards – whether small or large, to support academic or extracurricular activity – enabled students to make the most of their Cambridge experience and had a significant positive impact on their wellbeing. The College is enormously grateful to everyone whose gifts allow us to support so many students in so many ways. Thank you!

Leave a legacy

Legacy gifts leave a lasting impact on future generations of students and researchers. Anyone can leave a legacy, and any gift, large or small, will make a real difference to the College in its mission to be a force for good in society.

A legacy left to �鶹��Ӿ�can reduce your UK inheritance tax liability, and as a Registered Charity your bequest to �鶹��Ӿ�will be tax-exempt. The College recognises and thanks all legators by inviting them to join The Morrison Society.

The College invests the legacy gifts it receives to generate more reliable income: this allows us to plan ahead, boosts our financial security, and helps us invest in our people today and for future generations.

�鶹��Ӿ�Vice-Chancellor’s Award

I am fascinated by bones and the information they hold about past lives. For my PhD research, I calculate the evolutionary capacity of bones with the aim to understand better how our human lineage could diverge, and why human bones difer so much from our fellow primates. I am immensely grateful to have been awarded this scholarship, as without it I would not have been able to pursue my passion and undertake research at PhD level. Thank you.

John Morrison Studentship

Being accepted to Cambridge as an undergraduate from Denmark felt unreal. When I finished celebrating my personal victory and understood the financial costs, I realised that it might turn out actually to be unreal. With the generous support from the John Morrison Studentship, I am now pursuing my great passion for politics and social science in an environment where my beliefs are challenged and new ideas inspire me. Wolfson’s encouraging atmosphere makes me seek new challenges, and the financial support has given me a great feeling of affiliation with College – which I try to reciprocate.
