Almost 150 Fife College students have been awarded scholarships to support their studies and future careers.

With a total fund of £15,000, the awards from The Russell Trust provide valuable financial assistance to help students purchase essential equipment, learning materials and resources for their educational journey.

A special presentation event was held at the Carnegie Conference and Events Centre at the College’s new Dunfermline City Campus, where 45 recipients attended and received certificates from Alice Croal of the Russell Trust.

Guests at the event also included family and friends of the award winners, Jim Metcalfe, Fife College principal, staff and Board members.

The Russell Trust Scholarship is one of the most significant awards offered through the Adam Smith Scholarships programme at Fife College. First introduced in 1999, it remains one of the College’s longest-standing scholarships. Since its inception, 1,521 students have benefited from the fund.

One of this year’s recipients was Callum Thomso, a hospitality and events student. He said: “It will help me get started with my driving lessons, and that will really help with travel and open up more job opportunities.”
