The London Pass® Education Scholarship

 

Don't let studies stop you from exploring your city!

Calling all students!

At Go City we believe everyone deserves the chance to enjoy the best experiences a city has to offer but not all experiences are easily affordable on a student budget. Living costs are rising and so are the costs of books, tuition fees and expenses. For this reason, Go City wants to help students who are enrolled at a college or university in the U.K. by offering the chance to visit major attractions in London for free, while providing a one-time £3,000 academic scholarship award to put towards all those University musts.

Whether you want to pay for accommodation, finally get a copy of that eye-wateringly expensive textbook, or bulk-buy several months' worth of instant ramen, how it’s spent is up to you! 

So, what’s the scholarship? 

The winner of the UK London Pass® Education Scholarship will receive: 

1. 6 1-day London Pass® allowance* for you (plus your friends and family) to check out London’s best attractions and experiences.
2. A one-time award of £3,000 to put towards books, expenses and any other study necessities. The winner will have the funds transferred directly to their account.  

What are the eligibility requirements? 

To qualify for this scholarship, you must be enrolled at a UK university, and either be a British citizen, permanent resident or currently studying in the U.K. on a student visa. Only one submission per person will be accepted. 

When’s the deadline? 

The deadline for this competition is Friday 29th June 2024 at 11.59pm (GMT). Any submissions made after this deadline will not be considered. The winner will be announced by July 19th 2024.

The competition will run from 12:00 (GMT) on 15th March 2024 (the "Opening Date")  to 23:59 (GMT) on 29th June 2024 (the "Closing Date") inclusive.
