Open Futures Scholarship for Black Students

The Open University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The Open Futures Scholarship for Black Students lets new, UK-resident students who identify as Black study an Open University undergraduate qualification free of tuition fees. It was set up because the number of new Black undergraduate students at the OU had significantly declined.

Ten scholarships are available in 2026/27. The scheme is supported by donors through the Open Futures Fund.
