A Background

UCL, known as University College London, has been around since 1826. It was the first university in London to open up education to students of any religion, which was a big change back then1. The IMPACT Scholarship is part of this history because it’s about giving chances to students who might not have them otherwise. It offers up to £19,300 for students who want to study public health and can show they’ve faced challenges because of their background.
