Scholarship fund

This special event is designed to raise money for the London Scholarship Fund. The Fund was established in 2012 and supports undergraduates from the Greater London region to study at St Andrews.

Thanks to your generosity, over £275,000 has been raised for the fund. The Scholarships have provided support for a total of nine students so far, two of whom joined the University this past autumn.

Hope Jones, 3rd year MA (Hons) Art History - I honestly feel like there is no university in the world that could be more perfect for me than St Andrews and your funding has meant that I can come here and do everything that I have ever wanted without financial restraints. I am so grateful to you for your support. Being at university has changed my life and I really think I have grown as a person and I cannot wait for that to carry on.

Eleanor Duce, MA (Hons) English and Spanish - I am immensely proud to share that I graduated with a first-class degree in English and Spanish, with Distinction in Spoken Spanish – an accomplishment which has been kindly aided by your generous and continued support.
