Charity

The Snowdon Award Scheme - Every year, The Snowdon Award Scheme provides students who have a physical or sensory disability, with grants ranging from £250 to £2,500. These help cover additional costs, like computers, mobility equipment or human help that push up the already high costs of being a student or trainee. Whether they fund a sign language interpreter, someone to take notes, a laptop with special software or other assistive technology, carer's accommodation, transport or something more specific, our grants can change people's lives. They provide students with the opportunity to access education or training and enjoy a level of independence that would not otherwise be possible. Anyone with a physical or sensory impairment who is undertaking a course of further or higher education or other vocational training can apply to us for help with their disability-related study costs.

UL is one of the most successful university rowing clubs in Britain. Since 1960 we have won 33 Henley finals and produced 125 full internationals winning 74 medals between them.  UL is going to field a strong team for the Snowdon Rowing Challenge.  We are very pleased to support this event which is the brainchild of Hugh McLeod, who coxed for UL in 1988/89.  Like Hugh, many students have received an Award from the Snowdon Award Scheme while studying at the University of London.  We call on all those who share our passion for rowing on the Tideway to support the UL team.  Thank you!
