About this event
It's Back!
Wherever you are in the world, team up with classmates, colleagues, friends or family and pit your knowledge against York alumni all over the world as we host The Big York Pub Quiz once again. Hosted by York alumnus Alex Light (Sociology in Education, Vanbrugh, 2016), The Big York Pub Quiz will raise funds for the York Opportunity Scholarship, supporting incoming students to York for whom coronavirus is just one in a huge range of significant barriers to accessing higher education.
Participation is free, but donations are welcome - and the only prize is pride!
Every penny you raise or donate through taking part will go towards supporting York students through the York Opportunity Scholarship appeal.
The set of circumstances we are all facing across the globe is unprecedented and will make accessing educational opportunities even harder for some of our most vulnerable students. We are working hard to provide urgent support to the students who need it most. Right now, there are students who may be thinking that they will not be able to come to university in September.
Anything you can donate or raise will go directly towards ensuring that any student who has a place at York has as few barriers as possible to accessing their place, and every gift will be worth double thanks to generous matchfunding from a group of donors to York. Your support will go to students from less advantaged backgrounds, including local authority care leavers, students from low income backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students from a Black and ethnic minority background.
To get involved, just click REGISTER and let us know your team name and the (max. 4) team members who will be taking part.
Then, on the evening of the quiz, video call your teammates ready for a 7pm start and head to our YuStart page to watch the quiz and play along!
Let's get quizzy!
