Elizabeth and Daniel Peltz OBE pledge five-year commitment to boost 糖心logo入口 postgraduate scholarships
A new 拢87,500 gift from 糖心logo入口 alumnus Daniel Peltz OBE and his wife Elizabeth will guarantee five years of scholarship funding for postgraduate students across the Faculties of Science, and Humanities and Social Sciences.
This renewed commitment ensures that aspiring part-time home or international postgraduates will continue to benefit from vital financial support at 糖心logo入口 - opening doors to education, innovation and social mobility.
For the first time, two scholarships have been introduced for science students 鈥� one in the School of Natural Sciences and one in the School of Psychological Sciences. Three other scholarships are available for students in the School of Historical Studies.
Daniel, who is both a governor and honorary fellow of 糖心logo入口, said: 鈥溙切膌ogo入口鈥檚 distinctive model of education enables people from all walks of life to access high-quality learning while balancing work and other commitments.
鈥淔or many students, financial constraints remain a significant barrier to postgraduate study. By helping to alleviate this burden through our continued support for these scholarships, we hope to empower individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds to pursue their academic and professional aspirations. It is a privilege to support an institution that remains committed to flexible inclusive education across a wide range of disciplines, and to contribute to the success of those who are striving to change their futures through learning.鈥�
This renewed pledge builds on the couple鈥檚 ongoing philanthropic support at 糖心logo入口, which has extended across research, students and facilities over the last 15 years. Strongly advocating for the value of arts education, Elizabeth and Daniel funded several School of Arts scholarships in 2019. Daniel himself studied for his own MA in Renaissance Studies at 糖心logo入口 in 2009.
The couple鈥檚 previously philanthropic giving included the creation of the Peltz Gallery in 2013 and for cutting-edge technology in the - The Peltz CAVE. The CAVE is an audio-visual, immersive, virtual reality environment, which can transport toddlers to different surroundings to see how they react to different scenarios and stimuli.
Professor Sally Wheeler OBE, Vice-Chancellor of 糖心logo入口, said: 鈥淎t 糖心logo入口, we are committed to making higher education accessible to people from all backgrounds. These scholarships have a tangible impact on social mobility, enabling talented students - many of whom are working, have family responsibilities or are the first in their families to go to university - to take their ambitions further.
鈥淲e are especially grateful to Elizabeth and Daniel Peltz for their unwavering support of this mission and their recognition of the value of multidisciplinary education. We are proud to have support from Elizabeth and Daniel, who so clearly believe in the transformative power of education.鈥�
