Annual Fund 2011
Donors’ Report
Kingston University’s Annual
g
Fund has now completed its
fourth year of raising vital
funds to support students
and enhance learning
facilities. The fund’s remit of
improving the student
experience is clearly being
fulfilled. However, a student’s time at university is
only one part of the story. What happens when a
student completes their studies is just as
important.
einber
With the rising cost of a university education, our
students need to know that their degree will count
when they venture out into the wider world.
Recent research, published in the Times Higher
Education and which analysed the ‘added value’ of
a university education, shows Kingston to be
amongst the best institutions in the country when it
comes to graduate salaries; a Kingston education
certainly counts.
Vice-Chancellor
You, our alumni, are proving the value of a
Kingston education by your successes and your
generous donations. This year you have generously
Julius W
given over £91,000 in gifts and pledges, allowing
us to provide life-changing scholarships for
postgraduate studies, helping students who have
encountered unforeseen financial difficulties, and
supporting projects that are enhancing the student
experience.
The fact that the students who have benefited from
your generosity can look forward to bright futures
is a testament to both our reputation as a fine
institution, and to those alumni who continually,
despite the troubled economic climate, give to the
Annual Fund.
A huge thank you to you all!

Through postgraduate scholarships, we are able to
attract outstanding individuals to study at Kingston
University.
For the academic year 2011/2012, the Annual
Fund has been able to award eight scholarships
- each worth 50 per cent of tuition fees (up to a
maximum of £3,000) - to the following students.
Owing to exceptionally high standards, we have,
for the first time, awarded two scholarships in a
single subject area.
