The Alumni Fund supports current Strathclyde students by funding student-led projects, clubs, societies and learning opportunities. By supporting vital resources - like the library - the Alumni Fund benefits every student.

The Alumni Fund awards around £300,000 each year which is entirely donor funded by Strathclyde alumni. Fundraising campaigns include an annual student telethon and Giving Day.

 Enhancing your Strathclyde experience

If it was not for the Alumni Fund, we would not have been able to recruit new members. The funding will allow the club to continue to thrive and perform at the highest national level."

I had the most incredible experience on exchange, met people from all around the world and the experience allowed me to develop as a person and gave me the confidence to strive for new challenges and ambitions. I am now more passionate about my degree and I am excited about the potential of my future career. I am so grateful for my exchange; it truly did change my life."
