How the Strathclyde Alumni Fund shapes student lives
The Alumni Fund is supported by gifts from the Strathclyde alumni community. Your donations fund scholarships, the library, international study and development, sports clubs and student-led projects.
You enable Strathclyde students to realise their potential and have an outstanding university experience.
DonateCurrent Strathclyde students
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.

Your donations in action
The Alumni Fund supports the University of Strathclyde Motorsport team which gives Strathclyde students first-hand experience of designing, building and operating an electric race car.
The thirty-strong team recently took their car to Silverstone to take part in Formula Student UK, Europe's most established educational engineering competition. They competed alongside over 50 university teams from around the world and were delighted to take first place in the Cost and Manufacturing event!
Thank you to Strathclyde alumni for making our project possible every year and especially for your support throughout our transition to our first electric vehicle!
