quintinhoggtrust.co.ukAbout Quintin Hogg Trust
The Quintin Hogg Trust, established in 1903, is a specialist funder dedicated exclusively to advancing education at the University of Westminster in Central London. Rooted in founder Quintin Hogg's 19th-century vision of inclusive access for London's poorest children, the Trust upholds values of excellence, independence, innovation, sustainability, respect, inclusivity, and honesty. It makes needs-led, evidence-based grants, sustained by a property portfolio. The Trust prioritises initiatives enhancing educational excellence, employability, wellbeing, and opportunities. This includes full PhD studentships across disciplines, academic scholarships, infrastructure improvements, sporting facilities, and student-led projects via the Students’ Union. Beneficiaries are strictly University of Westminster students, staff, and affiliated groups. The Trust is distinctive as a single-institution funder committed to one university's holistic student development. It does not support external charities, unsolicited applications, or activities beyond its Central London campuses.

Supported activities include full PhD studentships across disciplines, academic scholarships in areas such as business, finance, and marketing, infrastructure improvements, sporting facilities, and student-led projects via the Students’ Union. All funding is confined to the University's Central London campuses and activities directly linked to the institution.
