The Scholarship Hub
The Scholarship Hub is the only UK website which aggregates all the information on scholarships, grants and bursaries for university for UK students. We are a social enterprise and aim to make students more aware of the alternative funding opportunities that exist, where to look for them and how to apply. Currently there is a great lack of awareness among students that this funding even exists and organisations offering scholarships often struggle to attract applicants.
StudentCrowd
StudentCrowd is an online review community for everything at university. Students love writing reviews to share their experience of university, halls, courses, clubs & societies, modules, banks, etc. Career professionals can utilise our resource to help to guide students to make the best decisions.
