Every year Strathclyde alumni make a direct contribution to the lives of current and future Strathclyde students by making a gift to the Alumni Fund. The Alumni Fund supports three core areas:
Undergraduate Scholarships
"Strathclyde helped me realise my potential and without a scholarship award from the Alumni Fund I wouldn't be working with world class scientists today..."

Teaching and Learning Resources
The quality of a student's time at university is largely determined by their experience in the classroom and lecture theatre, the quality of the teaching and the availability of books, computers and other learning resources.
"The Library gave me free access to a myriad of books, journals, treatises and other documents to help me with my studies and complement the knowledge I acquired from my lecturers and the tools to take my understanding to a new level." Lorraine McKiernan, BSc Biology and Alumni Fund Donor.
Wider Student Experience
The wider student experience not only benefits a student's overall university experience but can also have a direct impact to the local community and wider society. The Alumni Fund supports various projects such as the Law Clinic, Elite Athletes, Golf Scholarships, study abroad scholarships, student clubs and societies and sports clubs.
