The Professor Malcolm Sargeant Charitable Trust Scholarship

The charity awards one scholarship per year to a new student each year. The student criteria is:

Has been accepted onto an undergraduate degree course at Middlesex University
The first of their generation to go to university
Taking into account their financial need.

Professor Malcolm Sargeant worked incredibly hard at school, with little financial support, and was the first person in his family to go to university, and this changed his life and his future. As a legacy to him and his life, we, the Trustees, have set up this charity to help future students achieve their goals by helping with access to a university education.

Professor Malcolm Sargeant worked in higher education for over 20 years, and cared passionately about education, helping students achieve their academic ambition.

We provide funding for citizens and residents of England and Wales, looking to complete a university course at Middlesex University and who need financial help.

The charity is intending to award a scholarship to a new student each year. The draft criteria is the student:

Has been accepted onto an undergraduate degree course at Middlesex University
The first of their generation to go to university
Taking into account their financial need.

Details of how to apply can be found on the Middlesex University scholarship and bursary web page.

The scholarship intends to provide £2,900 to a deserving student who will be studying in their first year at Middlesex University and who can meet the criteria, which includes being the first in their family to attend University.
