Our Scholarships
Quinlan Crowd Scholar
Two 2024 Quinlan Crowd Scholarships will be named this year. Each Quinlan Crowd Scholar will receive £3,000 to study at university. This scholarship is available only to students who qualify as care leavers.
For the purposes of the Quinlan Crowd Scholarship, a care leaver is someone who has spent at least 13 weeks in the UK care system at any time between birth and age 18. The Scholarship is made possible by Dr. Jane Quinlan.
To apply, you must complete a Crowd Scholar application and be eligible for a Crowd Scholarship. Applicants need not complete supplemental application questions or interview processes to be considered for a Quinlan Crowd Scholarship.
Please feel free to contact - in addition to Crowd Scholar - Dr. Quinlan at quinlan.scholarship@gmail.com for any questions about the Quinlan Crowd Scholarship, including eligibility criteria.

(Need only indicate interest on
Crowd Scholar application)
Applying for a Quinlan Crowd Scholarship does not affect your eligibility for any other scholarship Crowd Scholar offers. This is an additional opportunity.
Dr. Jane Quinlan
“In 2021 I decided to set up a scholarship. I am a doctor – a consultant in anaesthetics and pain management - working in Oxford, I’m married and have three grown-up children. I was lucky enough to have been brought up in a supportive family, and my children have had similar good fortune, so it felt a good time to pay that privilege forward.”
“The Quinlan Scholarship has not only provided me with financial stability during university but has also provided me with a lifelong mentor who provides support and guidance when I need it. I am grateful to be a recipient of this scholarship and encourage all care leavers to apply to this!”
