The Dobson Free Places Fund provides fully funded undergraduate places at St Aldhelm's College, covering tuition fees and maintenance costs for talented UK students from low-income backgrounds. Our ambition is to endow 40 free places in perpetuity, ensuring that no student is deterred from applying by financial circumstances. Seven students are already benefiting from this life-changing support.

Seven students, and counting
Behind every gift to the Dobson Free Places Fund is a student whose life has already changed. Seven talented undergraduates from low-income backgrounds are at St Aldhelm's today because of donors like you — reading, rowing, debating, and thriving in a place they once thought might be out of reach.
Our ambition is bigger still: 40 fully funded places, endowed in perpetuity, so that no future applicant is ever turned away by their bank balance. Thanks to 145 donors, we're £57,175 of the way there. Every gift today takes another student closer to their St Aldhelm's offer letter — and we're so grateful to everyone helping make that happen.
