Help us to support more graduates

Get in touch

The demand for our funding from women postgraduates is high and we are never able to support all the deserving applications that we receive. The amount of money we have available is the only limit to the number of grant we can offer. Our overheads are low, so money donated goes directly to women in financial need.

Give Something Back

If you interested in supporting women’s education or you are a past recipient of one of our awards, please consider donating to the fund to help other women. Maybe you are at a point in your career where you are able to help women fulfil their ambitions. If so, please consider donating to FfWG. If you have time but not money do get in touch and we can discuss other forms of support you may be able to give.

Corporate Partnership

A corporate partnership with FfWG could bring real benefits to your business through appropriate publicity and positive contacts with some of the most talented women at British universities. It would also help us to maintain or expand the level of our annual grant budget. Working with, or donating to, FfWG you will have a positive and long lasting impact on women’s lives; the lives of women who have the potential to be leaders in their chosen field and beyond, if only they can complete their education.

Support Women in Research with a Tailored Bursary

If you have a particular area of research that you're passionate about, we’d love to help you create a bursary to support female students in that field. Specialised bursaries often attract more interest from academics and students who feel their needs are better understood. One of the great things about working with FfWG is that we can tailor bursaries to suit each donor. Whether you’re an individual, a family, an organisation or a company, we can help you set up a one-off, fixed-term or ongoing bursary that fits your resources and goals. We support students across a wide range of subjects and are committed to championing diversity. However, we’ve noticed that very few of our grants go to women studying Computer Science, Physics or Mathematics, and we’d love to change that. If you’d like to make a difference in these or any other fields, please get in touch – we’d be happy to discuss ideas with you.

Legacies

Make a pledge to support us when making or updating your will. Leaving a legacy will help ensure that we can support women for decades to come. We have named some our awards after previous legacies and women are proud to be able to put on their CV that they have received a named award. Current named awards include the Jennifer Ashworth, Elizabeth Slater Award, Lady Joan Reid Award and Nancy Catchpole.

“The funds helped me focus on my research work and was useful for my household bills, feeding and getting other necessities for myself and my children. I made tremendous progress on my research work and will be submitting by the end of October 2022.” Thank you for giving me this opportunity to complete my work, and not having to worry about money issues. My family and I are grateful.”
