Thank you
The aim of the York Unlimited campaign is to bring together our global community of staff, students, friends, alumni, and the people and businesses of our city, to transform lives and to connect you to projects that enable brilliant minds to break barriers, overcome limitations and think differently to solve the challenges of the world today.
The generosity of our donors and volunteers, when many of you have experienced personal challenges, continues to amaze us. We are delighted to celebrate the gifts you have made to the campaign, which include more than £93m in donations and 96,000 in volunteering hours in support of students and research at the University of York. Together, there are no limits to what we can achieve.
Thank you for your incredible support and generosity.

The York Opportunity scholarship has made a world of difference to my time at university. It has provided me with the freedom to focus on and enjoy my studies at The University of York and I couldn't imagine my time here without it.
