Divock Origi Scholarship
Launched in 2021, Liverpool legend and current AC Milan forward Divock Origi has partnered with Liverpool University, offering two competitive undergraduate scholarships to students permanently residing in Liverpool.
The Divock Origi Scholarship is shaped by Divock’s own appetite for inspiration and authentic belief in the promise of our youth – which has fuelled his championing of empowerment opportunities as a football player.
The scholarship will cover tuition fees of £9,250 per year, as well as providing an annual payment of £3,000 towards living costs.
Bushra Ihmaidat, who received the scholarship in 2022, and is studying Law, said "This scholarship has helped me massively to have access to the same opportunities as other students and to be able to excel in my studies so far.
"I am very grateful for Divock and this opportunity that he has provided me and hope to see more of its positive impact in the future."
The Divock Origi scholarship has, and will continue to, transform lives. Origi’s generosity has provided students with the means to grow and develop, making the most of their time here at the University.
We at the University of Liverpool strongly believe that everyone who chooses to participate in higher education should be able to do so. I am delighted that we have Divock Origi partnering with us to create new opportunities for young people in Liverpool. Divock is an inspiring figure for young people in our city and his support will help us in our aim to nurture local talent and potential.
