Ralph Whitell Waggett

Creating scholarships in Law and History

Ralph Whitell Waggett was a friend and supporter of our University.  He lived locally in Richmond, where he based his career as a solicitor.  Ralph had a strong interest in the history of Richmond, and a great desire to support the North East England and the North Yorkshire area.

Ralph wished to help others from the local area access postgraduate education, so he left a gift in his will to create a scholarship in his name. The Ralph Whitell Waggett Studentship supports local students from low-income backgrounds to undertake a Masters by Research in either Law or History.
