Circles of influence Campaign - Phase 2

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni in the USA and across the world, the University has successfully achieved the £60 million target for the first phase of the Circles of influence campaign. The second phase of the campaign, supported by the University of Birmingham Foundation, is now raising its sights even higher. See here for more information.

USA Scholarship

Last year, the University and the US Alumni Foundation launched a joint Scholarship scheme to enable outstanding US students to pursue postgraduate studies at Birmingham. Our first recipient is now at the University, beginning an MPhil at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and Rehabilitation, which itself was created in the first phase of the Circles of influence campaign.

Local Chapters

One of the recent goals of the US Alumni Foundation has been to develop a better sense of a collective identity among Birmingham Alums living in the USA. We are making good progress and the established groups are continuing to grow and arrange meetings and activities. For more information on their end of year activities please see our local groups area
