London Scholarship Fund
This special event is designed to raise money for the London Scholarship Fund. The Fund, established in 2012, supports undergraduates from the Greater London region to study at St Andrews.
Thanks to your generosity, more than £275,000 has been raised for the fund, leading to the appointment of nine London Scholars: three have since graduated from the University and four are currently enrolled on degree programmes.
One of the London Schoalrs, Hope Jones, third year MA (Hons) Art History, says “I honestly feel like there is no university in the world that could be more perfect for me than St Andrews and your funding has meant that I can come here and do everything that I have ever wanted without financial restraints. I am so grateful to you for your support. Being at university has changed my life and I really think I have grown as a person and I cannot wait for that to carry on.”
Eleanor Duce graduated with a MA (Hons) English and Spanish thanks to the Fund. She said: “I am immensely proud to share that I graduated with a first-class degree in English and Spanish, with Distinction in Spoken Spanish — an accomplishment which has been kindly aided by your generous and continued support.”
