Potential is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

Every year, talented students arrive at Lucy Cavendish College with the ambition, resilience and determination to change their lives and make a difference in the world.

Many have taken non-traditional routes to higher education. Some are the first in their family to attend university. Others have overcome significant personal, financial or educational barriers to reach Cambridge.

They have earned their place here. But getting to Cambridge is only part of the journey.

When opportunities arise, barriers shouldn't get in the way

The cost of university life can be challenging.

Unexpected financial pressures, technology costs, travel expenses, wellbeing needs and the rising cost of living can all affect a student's ability to make the most of their time at Cambridge.

No student should have to turn down an opportunity because they cannot afford it.

The College Priorities Fund allows us the flexibility to respond where the need is greatest, from supporting students facing financial hardship to providing wellbeing support, academic opportunities and full participation in College life.
