In our Colleges, first year undergraduates live alongside the most eminent minds in the world. Radical ideas are born in environments like this, as spontaneous collaborations are launched and partnerships formed. To sustain and build our Collegiate communities, we need to invest in each College's built environment by renewing and refurbishing our estate, creating a welcoming home for generations of scholars to come.

 

Colleges provide exceptional academic support and ensure that students are supported throughout their academic career. But they also provide a social hub where lifelong relationships are formed, not to mention some fierce sporting rivalry. The intimacy and scale of a college combined with broad cultural diversity help foster an environment where students are taught how to think, not what to think.

With each College uniquely distinctive from the next, the range of gift opportunities varies from College to College. Fundraising priorities include:

  • Academic posts – supporting research and teaching roles such as fellowships and teaching officers
  • Access to education – funding outreach initiatives to engage and motivate learners from low participation backgrounds who have the potential to succeed at Cambridge
  • College environment – maintenance of historic buildings and creation of new facilities and iconic buildings which provide the best possible spaces for student life and learning
  • Student experience – investing in a College’s cultural life such as clubs and societies, choirs and sports
  • Student support – increasing the availability of studentships and bursaries to help undergraduate and graduate students finance their studies

For details of each College’s fundraising priorities, please see their website by using the links below. If you would like to invest in the Collegiate community but do not currently have a College affiliation, please do not hesitate to contact the University College Relations team.
