The Professor Malcolm Grant Scholarship Throughout his career, Professor Grant has been committed to supporting the student community and to opening doors for the brightest and best. In particular, he has been a consistent advocate for the UCL ethos that no student should be denied a world-class education because of their background or financial circumstances. In fact, as far back as 2003, Professor Grant said “we don’t want to miss out on really capable students”. This commitment to widening access has been a hallmark of Professor Grant’s time in office. That’s why UCL alumni and friends have initiated a global fundraising effort to establish a scholarship in Professor Grant’s name, one which will celebrate his contribution and carry forward his values. To date, the scholarship fund has reached £500,000 (including a £100,000 matching gift from UCL) and continues to grow. We would like to thank the following donors for their support (list current as of 20 April 2013), as well as those alumni, staff and friends whose contributions have been received since the magazine went to print.

Rightful recognition The Professor Malcolm Grant Scholarship will enable UCL to enrol outstanding students from all financial backgrounds, from all over the world. If you have taken pride in the progress of UCL over the past ten years, we invite you to contribute to this special scholarship fund. It’s a wonderful way to mark a decade of outstanding leadership, which has seen UCL rise from 34th to 4th in the QS World University Rankings. While Professor Grant has always urged caution about the reliability of such rankings, UCL’s upward trajectory is irrefutable. UCL looks forward to selecting the inaugural Grant Scholars and to continuing to enable talented students to benefit from a world-class education at our esteemed institution – one for which Professor Grant has done so much over the last decade.
