The Bartlett launches £1.2m Promise to diversify the sector

UCL's Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment today launches The Bartlett Promise to offer scholarships worth a total of £1.2 million per year to students from under-represented backgrounds. The Bartlett Promise is a long-term project to attract students from a broader range of backgrounds to tackle the lack of diversity in the sector. The scholarships are the first stage in the Promise project, and will cover students' fees, living and study costs for the duration of their degree. For the first year of the Promise, the scholarships are open to students from the UK and EU countries applying to undergraduate degrees in The Bartlett School of Architecture, School of Planning and School of Construction and Project Management. Scholars will also receive mentoring, personal support and careers advice throughout their studies. Over the next few years, The Promise scholarships will grow to cover all schools and departments of The Bartlett at all levels of study including international applicants. The Bartlett Promise will help to tackle the lack of diversity within the built environment.
