The fund gives you access to grants and can help you to turn a dream project into a reality.
The Ignite Fund offers students at Westminster a fantastic opportunity to upskill and gain the competitive edge when you embark on your chosen career after you graduate. If you have a project or opportunity that would help you develop personally and professionally, but financial pressures are holding you back – the fund is for you.
All undergraduate and postgraduate students can apply for a non-repayable grant of between £150 - £1,500 to develop a project which is relevant to your studies or will help with your personal/professional development and employability.
Here are just a few examples of what you could apply for:
- Purchasing equipment and materials
- Costs associated with starting your own business
- Developing a project relevant to your studies such as making a documentary film, setting up a music studio, putting together a portfolio of your work, dissertation projects
- External courses related to your degree which will give you the edge once you graduate
- Research projects
- Attending conferences and workshops
- Internships and training opportunities
Check the application guidance for more information about the application criteria.
Apply to the Ignite Fund by Sunday 22 October.
Please note that another round of applications will open in February 2024 for anyone who may have missed the September deadline.
