Support Essex students

Essex was founded thanks to the generosity of others. They had a mission in mind; to help change the world. Over 60 years on, it’s still at the heart of what we do thanks to people like you.

Coming to Essex is a life-changing opportunity and we are proud to recruit students based on their potential to benefit from a transformational Essex education.

Essex isn’t just a degree. The Essex Spirit makes students part of our community for life, builds their questioning and challenging mindset, and gives them a global outlook.

Now more than ever, the world needs people with these skills and attitudes. We want everyone to be able to experience and enjoy what makes Essex unique, whatever their background or individual circumstances.

We support our students by raising money for lots of different things, but we are asking for your generous help in three key areas:

  • Essex Futures – to make sure that everyone has access to an Essex education.
  • Hardship Fund – to make sure that financially students can withstand unexpected events.
  • Student Experience – to make sure that every student gets to have the full Essex experience.

If you have any questions, please get in touch at thankyou@essex.ac.uk.
