Brittan scholarship

Dame Diana Brittan DBE has generously donated two scholarships in memory of her late husband, Lord Leon Brittan. Lord Brittan was the first Chancellor of Teesside University from 1993 to 2005. Philanthropic scholarships at Teesside University enhance the student learning experience by supporting the cost of living and providing access to additional or extra-curricular activities.

Lord Brittan believed that education leading to continued intellectual curiosity opened up an individual's future and the potential of whole communities and nations.

Two scholarships available for the 2023-24 academic year
