When we launched the WYN Scholarship last year, we made a promise to support talented UK students whose ambitions deserve the chance to flourish. Today, we're proud to share the next step in that journey: the WYN Scholarship is officially live at Canterbury Christ Church University, supporting undergraduate students studying business, data, technology, and AI-related subjects.
Why Canterbury Christ Church University
UK universities are navigating one of the most challenging financial periods in their history, and students are feeling that pressure most of all. Canterbury Christ Church University shares our belief that higher education should be accessible to talented young people regardless of background, and their Futures programme, which supports students with career readiness, mentorship, and skills development, mirrors the kind of practical, outcomes-focused support we wanted this scholarship to provide.
For WYN, partnering with CCCU was a natural fit. Their commitment to widening participation, paired with strong programmes in the exact disciplines shaping the future of work (business, technology, AI, cyber security, and finance), means this scholarship can have a tangible impact on the students who need it most.
What the WYN Scholarship Offers
The scholarship is designed to remove financial barriers and open doors into the professional world. Recipients will receive:
£5,000 per year for the full duration of their three-year undergraduate degree
Dedicated support from a Futures Coach throughout their studies, helping build confidence, skills, and career readiness
The opportunity to complete a summer internship with WYN
A potential pathway into a graduate role with WYN after completing their degree
This isn't just financial support. It's a structured route into a career, with mentorship and real industry experience built in from year one.
Who Can Apply
The WYN Scholarship is open to UK and international students starting their first year of a full-time undergraduate degree at CCCU in business, marketing, finance, law, or technology-related subjects, including computer science, software engineering, AI, and cyber security. It's designed for students from backgrounds where higher education may have felt out of reach, whether due to household income, care experience, disability, or caring responsibilities. Full eligibility criteria and the list of qualifying degrees are available on the CCCU application page.
