Why fund a scholar?

1) It’s highly leveraged

Funding an exceptional undergraduate to do a one-year masters costs £50,000, including visa costs and a return air fare. £50,000 is not enough to directly effect social change, but it is enough to fund a world-class student to do moonshot research that could change society.

2) Zero overheads

100% of the money goes towards the student.

3) An experienced admissions team

Admissions are managed by the universities, who have hundreds of years of experience selecting the best candidates.

4) A world-class mentorship team

The Tigris Scholarship’s team of mentors is unparalleled when it comes to innovation in the physical world.

5) A personal relationship

The Tigris Scholarship is not a charity where your money is going to a anonymous recipient on the other side of the world, useful though they can be. All successful applicants will be invited to a dinner with the donors, and you can see how your donation changes their career trajectory.

6) A lifelong story

The donation might be one-off, but you can follow the student’s story for years.
