- JPMorgan Chase and the Sutton Trust today announced the launch of a nearly 4.8 million endowment fund to improve the access to employability opportunities for underserved, low-income and BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) university students in the UK, starting with 350 students in the next ten years.
- To help boost social mobility for underserved students, the Sutton Trust will build a pipeline of diverse talent for in-demand jobs leading to well-paying career pathways.
- Around 60% of the bursaries will be targeted at Black and Minority Ethnic students, to reflect the additional barriers that these students face.
- The new 4.8 million bursary fund aims to help mitigate the gap in employability outcomes, between students who have access to activities, experiences and courses and those who do not.
