Visa scholarship?
I got this message recently and I’m really sceptical that it’s fake:
Hi all,
If any of you are parents to children going to university this year, Visa has a scholarship programme that will pay course fees up to a value of £9,200 per year, up to 4 years. The programme is designed to support students from under-represented and socially disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential.
There is a list of eligibility criteria, however the main ones are:
- The degree must be in a STEM field (Computer Science, Information Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering or Maths), or Business (HR, Finance, Marketing, Sales)
- From a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background.
Full details of what the programme offers and the full eligibility criteria can be found at the below website:
https://www.windsor-fellowship.org/visa-scholarship
*Applications close on 18th July*
Can anyone verify if they’ve done this before/ can tell if it’s real or not?

The Windsor Fellowship is a registered charity so it looks like it is a legitimate programme.

I think they responded around 11 am on Thursday.

Was wondering the same thing; I haven't received anything apart from the submission confirmation and my application was put in almost a week early.
Why is a business indulging in these activities let alone a slightly racist one.
Their job is to provide the service.

Many big businesses are involved in philanthropic work - it's not unusual. Why is it racist to help minority groups?

Discrimination. If they have money for that then they can improve their service and stop mucking people about.

Visa isn't a charity.
It's a business which the state effectively forces people to use.
