Scholarship

The scholarship Scheme With The University Of Leeds From 1999 to 2008

The Ogden Scholarships have provided genuinely life-changing opportunities for young people from some of Britain's most disadvantaged communities. Through a number of gifts to Leeds, Sir Robert Ogden's generosity enabled over 200 young men and women to realise their potential and attend university.

The financial assistance the scheme offered also acted as an incentive for the students to remain in sixth-form study and progress to the next stage of education. The success of the programme inspired the government's Education Maintenance Allowance and Opportunity Bursaries scheme.
