Student development fund
As a former student and alumni of UHI would you like to help current students? By making a donation, no matter how small, you can make a real difference to the experience of UHI students.
The Student Development Fund (SDF) is designed to offer a little bit of help to our students. Many students get offered exciting opportunities in connection with their course, which will help their personal development, build their knowledge and expand their horizons. Often these opportunities can be missed due to financial constraints - especially in the Higlands and Islands - where travel costs can be dramatically more. Read a few examples of how SDF money can help.
With nearly eight thousand students currently studying at UHI, there is a great demand for this fund. UHI is important for the economy and the region, but most of all for the future of our students and their ambitions.
Students make an application for a grant from the fund, which is administered by the University of the Highlands and Islands Development Trust. The fund was set up with an initial annual grant of over £5,000 from the Development Trust. These funds came from donations made by various individuals and companies. Our long term ambition is to establish a fund of £25,000 which will build up over the years to provide long-term and continuing support for UHI students.
We would like to help as many students as possible achieve their goals and have the best experience they can at UHI. In order to do this, we need financial help from our friends, supporters and you, our alumni.
Many students have already benefited from the Student Development Fund, read about how some of them have used their awards.
