After those closest to you are taken care of, please consider a gift to Strathclyde in your Will: For a scholarship For a subject you are passionate about For research that will improve and extend lives

“I have been at the top of my year and without the independence and flexibility the scholarship has given me I think this would have been different. I know many students who couldn’t attend university without financial support. Every scholarship makes a huge difference.”

Roisin Brown 4th year Chemistry, Undergraduate scholarship student
