Townsend Scholarship Programme

​​Scholarships to support Lambeth BME students from low income homes who gain a place at a Russell Group University

Details
The generosity of a Lambeth resident resulted in the establishment of our Townsend Scholarship Programme.  It supports Lambeth Black and Minority Ethnic pupils from low-income homes who gain a place at a Russell Group University. Each scholarship is worth £1,000 a term for three years (£9,000 in total).
