We're thrilled to announce our newest partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University to support their First Generation Scholarship Programme. This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders and creating a more equitable society.

Manchester Metropolitan University, a leading institution renowned for its diverse and inclusive environment, shares our passion for breaking down barriers to higher education. Their First Generation Scholarship Programme provides crucial support to students who are the first in their families to attend university – a group often facing significant financial and social challenges.

Our funding will provide £2,000 scholarships to ten deserving students in the 2025/26 academic year. These scholarships, to be named “The First Generation Jim Jackson Foundation Scholarships”, will not only alleviate financial burdens but also enable these students to access a world-class business education at Manchester Met's prestigious Business School.

Manchester Met's Business School is committed to fostering innovation, leadership, and ethical practices, equipping students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in today's world.

We're excited to see the incredible achievements of these First Generation Scholars and the positive impact they will have on the world. This partnership with Manchester Met is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of education and our dedication to creating opportunities for all.
