Student Support

Student Support


Your support breaks down the barriers to education and provides more opportunities for students to fulfil their dreams of a world-class Glasgow education.


The overwhelming support from last year's Giving Day helped raise funds to cover six scholarships at the University and provided additional support to those who may find themselves in unforeseen circumstances.


Education has the power to transform lives, create opportunities, and open doors to experiences beyond what someone might have ever dreamed possible. Glasgow is committed to widening access and ensuring that no one is held back from education due to financial constraints. 


If you enjoyed a world-class Glasgow education, you might remember the excitement of your first lecture, walking through the main gates, joining a club or that first night in halls. Whatever your first memory of Glasgow, we want every student to have that moment — the moment they embark on something new and exciting that opens up a world of opportunities.


With 1 in 4 of our students coming from Scotland’s most deprived areas, we need your support to make their dreams a reality. By contributing to Student Support, you can provide security and a lifeline to those whose circumstances might otherwise hold them back.


The University proudly offers the Sanctuary Scholarship to support asylum seekers and refugees who, through no fault of their own, have been displaced and face barriers to education. This scholarship enables them to pursue undergraduate, postgraduate, and research degrees by providing financial aid to cover tuition fees and living expenses. By offering this vital support, the University reaffirms its commitment to inclusivity and helps ensure that displaced individuals have the opportunity to overcome challenges and continue their educational journey.


Supporting students today will inspire the minds of tomorrow, empowering future World-Changers to make a lasting impact on society.
