Every Student, every opportunity – Celebrating 50 years, investing in the future
For 50 years, ACS Cobham has been home to a diverse international community united by the purpose of inspiring the world’s next global thinkers and doers. As a charity, our Annual Fund ensures talented students can access an ACS education through bursaries, while also supporting facilities and community partnerships that allow every student to thrive.
The Annual fund helps create an immediate resource that directly enhances the teaching and learning environment, and which can be realised within the current academic year. All donations – regardless of the amount – make a positive impact and demonstrate a belief in our mission. The success of the annual fund will only be met with your support and participation.
Why
Give?
On average, 45 students a year across ACS receive bursary support – including 12 this year at Cobham. These bursaries open doors, enrich our classrooms with new perspectives, and give talented young people the chance to succeed at leading universities worldwide.
The bursary granted me access to a whole different world. It allowed me to meet people from all types of cultures. It helped me understand myself and my role in a multicultural society, and it gave me the confidence and curiosity to embrace new experiences. None of that would have been possible without it.
– Bursary student
From grassroots participation to elite sporting achievements, our facilities build skills, resilience, and lifelong friendships. With over £1 million invested in the last five years at ACS Cobham, the Annual Fund helps us keep pace with student needs and maintain our reputation for excellence.
We want Cobham’s sports facilities to match the outstanding achievements of our Cobham Cougar students.
– Cobham Sports Lead
The Annual Fund amplifies our impact far beyond the classroom – supporting local schools, charities, and community groups through outreach programmes, sports camps, and student volunteering.
“UTCAI have been privileged to partner with ACS Cobham for five years through the Football Family programme. The world-class sports facilities, particularly the exceptional 3G pitch, have provided an outstanding venue for our events and matches. Playing on that pitch is the highlight of their year”
