TASK 1
Ex-student cuts fees for poor at Oxford university
Hundreds of the UK's poorest bright teenagers are to be given scholarships to attend Oxford after the university was handed a £75 million donation by a former student.
The prestigious institution has been gifted the funds by businessman and former journalist Michael Moritz and his novelist wife Harriet Heyman.
The money is set to be used to kick off a new £300 million scholarship programme to support students from the lowest income families through their studies, Oxford has announced.
It comes as tuition fees in England are tripled to a maximum of £9,000 per year, and amid fears that concerns about debt could still put some disadvantaged students off going to top universities.
Students receiving the new Moritz-Heyman scholarships will have no upfront study or living costs, receive financial support during the holidays and take part in a tailor-made internship programme, Oxford said.
In total, the package will be worth around £11,000 per year, with fees pegged at £3,500, the current fee level before the hike is introduced this autumn.
Oxford said that the £75 million donation was the "biggest philanthropic gift for undergraduate financial support in European history".
At an event to unveil the programme in central London, Mr Moritz said the aim of the initiative was to ensure that "every headteacher throughout the UK understands that there is no obstacle whatsoever for any of their students, any pupil, who has the academic ability and talent to take a place at Oxford, to be able to gain admission to the university".
There is now "no financial barrier" between any student and an Oxford education, he added.
Around one in 10 Oxford undergraduates, about 1,000 in total, come from homes with annual incomes below £16,000, and within three years it is expected that half of these students could receive one of the new scholarships, Oxford said.
Around 100 students will be given an award this autumn, and eventually, all students in this group could be covered.
Mr Moritz, who was previously a correspondent for Time magazine and is now chairman of Sequoia Capital, said: "We hope that these scholarships touch a lot more than just the individual recipients and beneficiaries of the awards.
"Because as those students graduate, and go on to pursue whatever their passion in life becomes, we hope that their work will then touch many more people, as they pursue careers in science, or in business, or in the arts."
Mr Moritz graduated from Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1976 with a degree in history.
He said that the personal reason behind his donation was that he had attended an "ordinary comprehensive school" in Cardiff, and was the only pupil in his year to go to Oxford.
"I would not be here today were it not for the generosity of strangers," Mr Moritz said.
As a teenager, his father had been "plucked" from Nazi Germany and able to attend a good London school on a scholarship, before winning a further award to study at Oxford, he said.
Mr Moritz added that he also had a cousin who was taken from terrible circumstances and given help to complete his studies.
"I think it is all to easy not to remember those that can be so easily forgotten," he said.

11 September 2012
One of London’s most famous universities was today named ahead of Oxford in a new world league table of the best higher education institutions.
University College London is rated fourth, one place above Oxford and only two behind Cambridge, in the annual QS World University Rankings list of the 700 most outstanding places for study and research.
In a further boost for the capital, another of its leading institutions, Imperial College, was placed sixth, making London the only city with two universities in the world top 10.
First place in the rankings, drawn up by leading academics and other experts, went to the Massachussetts Institute of Technology with another American university, Harvard, finishing third.
UCL’s Provost, Professor Malcolm Grant, said the findings represented an important vote of confidence in the quality of higher education in London.
“What is remarkable for London is to be the only city in the world to have two top 10 universities,” he said. “Higher education, science, research, technology and health are all remarkable strengths of London, every bit as strong as financial services.
“I’m delighted with UCL’s showing — and with Imperial — but more importantly it provides a base-point for comparison with London’s major rivals as global cities, particularly New York.”
UCL’s fourth ranking is three places higher than last year, and reflects higher scores for its ability to attract leading international students and the number of times its research work is quoted in academic journals.
Other leading British universities in today’s table are Edinburgh, ranked 21st, London’s King’s College, which is 26th, and Bristol, in 28th position.
The London School of Economics, at 69, is London’s only other university to appear in the top 100.
John O’Leary, editor of the Times Good University Guide, said: “This is a tremendous accolade for London.”
