Funding Opportunities

We’ve got a whole range of ways to fund opportunities at the University of Leeds. Read on to find out more.

Explore opportunities beyond your studies with one of our grant funding programmes.

As a current student you might be looking for support with an enterprise idea, a sustainability initiative or perhaps a project which will bring a positive change for a student community you’re a part of.  

Take a look at the Funding Programmes below to see if they could offer you the support you’re looking for.
