Frequently Asked Questions

Why Support Brunel?

Alumni and donor support allows us to provide scholarships, bursaries, awards, help for students in financial difficulty and enhance the experience for students during their time at Brunel. Donations to the Annual Fund make up a significant portion of our student support budget and help us plan for the future.

What does my gift support?

Your gift to our Annual Fund will support one of our scholarships and funds for gifted academics, musicians, artists, athletes and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. 100% of the funds raised go directly to providing material support for students. You can specify if you would like the donation to support a specific fund or for the area of greatest need.

Will my gift make a difference?

The support you provide our students can be life-changing for those that receive it and gives students opportunities that set them up for life. We can’t emphasise this enough. Everyone that donates at any level - even £5 a month - is ensuring that another individual has an opportunity to succeed that they may not have otherwise had.

Does the university hold charitable status?

Brunel University London is an exempt charity with the Charity Tax No: XN7223 and Royal Charter No: RC000079.
We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and we fundraise in-line with the Code of Fundraising Practice. Please also review our Privacy Policy and our Fundraising Code of Practice for the Acceptance of Donations for further information on our data protection and fundraising practices.
