Individual supporters
We rely on small grants and donations. These have already made a life-changing difference to many students, and all donations – whether of money or expertise – are profoundly appreciated.
It costs us around £780 – or £65 a month – to put a student through the whole Reach Higher programme. This has three parts:
- 5 days on the Big Ideas residential at Westminster School (“life-changing” … “the greatest experience of my life”) costs us around £360 per student, or £30 a month
- 10 days intensive academic work with first-class subject experts at Trinity Hall, Cambridge (“beyond outstanding”) costs us around £240 per student, or £20 a month
- 10-20 one-on-one academic tutorials (“I can’t begin to explain how much it has helped me”) cost us around £180 per student, or £15 a month
We work hard to offer excellent value. Using volunteers and negotiating discounts means Reach Higher costs us about a third of the usual cost price. So every pound donated goes three times further.
Linacre Champions
Those who contribute £65 a month or more cover the full cost of putting a student through Reach Higher and become Linacre Champions. This is a unique chance to:
-
Pass something on
Your donation will provide for a named student, allowing him or her to be taught in inspirational places by inspiring people, and dramatically increasing his or her chances of reaching our top universities.
-
Give something back
Champions Scholarships can be named for someone who helped you fulfil your own potential. They are therefore a unique way of honouring a mentor or someone who went the extra mile for you.

Corporate and trust supporters
In 2017-18 we are looking to form partnerships with businesses and trusts which support our aims. Many of our students go on to world-class universities and show exactly the kind of independence and get-up-and-go that businesses are looking for. Click here to find out more.
