Warwick Medical School and Medical Student Bursaries

The WPH Charity initially gave a pump priming donation of £1,000,000 for the building of the school and has funded a number of other projects over the years.

 

It also now funds five £3000 student bursaries per year for students in need. A sixth bursary is awarded in memory of H Singh in tribute to a very highly regarded Trustee. These can be found at https://warwick.ac.uk/services/wss/funding/bursariesandscholarships/2016on/#MBChB

The Trustees
The Trustees are responsible for the management and running of the charity. They have the authority and obligation to invest sums of money to produce an income. Income generated from the trust fund is given as donations in the form of grants, utilising at least the anticipated annual net income of the Trust to meet its aims and objectives.

The Trust tries to support capital projects including new buildings and major items of equipment, refurbishment and improvement to facilities and provision of items of equipment for direct patient care, medical research, academic sponsorship and other institutional programmes.

The Trust will support individuals, nursing, administrative or other staff providing direct care and sponsor individuals or groups in their training to care for others and help any other application which the Trust Board deems appropriate; but only in exceptional circumstances will the Trust provide direct support to the NHS or an NHS Healthcare Trust.
