"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
Take a closer look at just some of the projects The Stirling Fund and its supporters have helped to make possible.
Through interdisciplinary collaborations fostered by the Stirling Fund, we break down barriers and unite researchers from diverse fields to tackle complex challenges. These collaborations serve to address pressing issues and drive innovation, benefiting not only the student body but also society as a whole.
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.
The University embraces its commitment to supporting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) projects. The Stirling Fund champions EDI initiatives, providing crucial support to LGBTQ+, disability, and ethnic minority communities within the University.
