114 students received bursaries.

“I am very grateful for the bursary that I receive. It is nice to know that someone is generously helping to fund my studies while at this University. It takes away a great deal of stress and worry about money issues … it really is an extremely special gift to give to someone, and it is appreciated very much.”

42 students received travel bursaries this year, visiting 25 countries between them. Trips ranged from volunteer teaching in India to mapping geology in the USA, from medical internships in a Nepalese leprosy hospital to vet work in a wildlife sanctuary in South Africa. These once-in-a-lifetime opportunities would not be possible without the travel bursaries.

In 2012 our Telephone Campaign focussed on fundraising for the Supervision System. The funds raised were equivalent to the cost of over

£3,500a year is currently being raised by our new Friends of the Choir membership scheme. The scheme has had great support so far and is already generating vital funds for the Choir.

33 school groups have, this year, visited Selwyn College for the day to find out what it would be like to study here. Accompanied by our Schools Liaison Officer, pupils have the chance to ask questions, meet Tutors and learn more about studying at Cambridge. School visits are a key part of our widening participation and access work. 24 more alumni notified

us this year of their intention to remember the College in their Will, thus becoming members of The 1882 Society. This special way of giving will support future generations of Selwyn students immensely.
