Graduating Class GiftThe Graduating Class Gift was first launched in 2012, providing graduating MBAs with the opportunity to come together and create an immediate impact on current and future students. Funds raised go directly to the Henley Alumni Fund which provides bursaries and hardship fund grants.

In 2014, five members of the graduating class benefited from the Henley Alumni Fund, and all chose to support their Graduating Class Gift.
