Student Opportunity and Events
Go City education scholarship
Go City is giving one lucky winner the chance to explore attractions for free! Check out top museums and must-see landmarks, learn from the locals on a walking tour, or discover something you didn’t even know existed. The winner will also receive a one-time £3,000 academic scholarship award to put towards all those University musts. Whether you want to pay for accommodation, or finally get a copy of that expensive textbook, how it’s spent is up to you. Find out more and apply by 30 April.
Let's Talk About Classism
Let's Talk about Classism is a campaign run by your Widening Participation Officer throughout Term 3, to encourage and allow space to come together and discuss the impact of class and socioeconomic status on the opportunities and experiences of Warwick students.
