SUPPORT
STIRLING

As a University of Stirling graduate, you’re part of a global community that is truly making a difference. We’re leading the fight against tobacco-related harm in Asia and Africa, empowering communities through sustainable aquaculture research, and working to improve the lives of people with dementia.

In short, you can be proud of where you’ve come from, and you can also play a major part in our future. There are two main ways our alumni choose to support the University: by giving financially, or by volunteering their time. If you’d like to do one of those things as well, you’ll find more information below about specific causes and opportunities you can support.

University of Stirling and Smile Amazon

The University of Stirling is now a designated charity with Smile Amazon, and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the net purchase price of your purchases (excluding VAT, returns, shipping fees) to the University, at no cost to you. It’s the same Amazon products, prices and services but by shopping via smile.amazon.co.uk you can opt to support a charity, including the University of Stirling.

The Advancement office will direct all proceeds from Amazon to the University’s Student Hardship Fund. If you have any questions, please contact philanthropy@stir.ac.uk.
