Education isn’t just about books and lectures—it’s about moments and experiences that stay with students for a lifetime. With the help of generous alumni and friends, the Stirling Fund has already supported over 350 student-led projects that encourage collaboration, build life skills, and bring students together in meaningful ways.
"Higher education is vital to the future and as ever under threat of underfunding. I'm grateful for training I received at the University of Stirling and would like my legacy to the University to be doing good work when I'm no longer able to."
Paul Martin, Stirling Fund Supporter

Through innovative pilot projects, we create and test initiatives focused on long-term student development. These projects are carefully designed to address the evolving needs of our students and to foster their personal and professional growth. Successful initiatives are then adopted by the University, ensuring that students have access to effective tools and resources.
