Our Adam Smith Scholarships programme receives thousands of pounds in financial donations from companies, individuals and funds each year. We then use these funds to distribute fairly out to deserving Fife College students to support them with their studies.
We have awarded over £1.3 million to students since we began in 1997, with £700k being awarded in the last 5 years alone.
Our scholarships provide recognition, a financial award, and in some cases, work experience, internships and trips abroad to support and encourage students to achieve their full potential.
In this competitive world we all need some extra help getting on the first rung of the ladder. This scholarship programme is a great initiative and allows me to provide students with that much needed lift and recognition at the beginning of their career.
I really enjoy being involved, reading the students' work and meeting them at the awards presentations. It's good to give something back and it's also a great excuse for me to visit and play a part in supporting the Kingdom's emerging creative talent.
