Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX), a global medtech leader,
announced today three new collaborations to support financially
in-need students from multicultural backgrounds pursuing degrees at
UCL, Dublin City University and Trinity College Dublin. Baxter’s
funding will support 10 students in total over the 2023/2024 and
2024/2025 academic years.
“Through our Activating Change Today (ACT) initiative, Baxter
has proudly created several programs that support students in the
U.S. who are pursuing health and science degrees. The funding
announced today is ACT’s first investment benefiting students
internationally,” said Angela Lee, Baxter’s chief diversity
officer. “In partnership with the Baxter MultiCultural Network
business resource group—which promotes inclusion and belonging by
embracing diversity among different dimensions of race, ethnicity
and culture—we’re delighted to work with three higher-educational
institutions in the UK and Ireland to help address barriers to
education that can exist at the intersection of ethnicity and
affordability.”
Each of the institutions are applying Baxter’s contributions to
best meet the needs of their respective student bodies. This
includes:
- UCL will establish the Baxter Healthcare Scholarship to fund
one undergraduate student in the Faculty of Engineering Sciences
and one Master of Science student in the Global Business School for
Health in the 2024/2025 academic year. The scholarships will be
awarded based on financial need to UK students of Black-African or
Black-Caribbean descent.
- Dublin City University Educational Trust will offer five full-
or part-time teaching masters postgraduate scholarships in the
2023/2024 academic year through its University of Sanctuary
program, which welcomes refugees and asylum seekers into the
university. The scholarships will be open to university graduates
who are not eligible for state support or grants, but need to
complete a postgraduate degree in Ireland to gain access to the
country’s competitive employment market.
- Trinity College Dublin will offer three scholarships to
undergraduate ethnic minority students through its Trinity Access
Program, which aims to increase participation in higher education
by students from underrepresented groups and communities in
Ireland.
