SCHOLARSHIP UPDATE
Our £ 1 million milestone marked with launch of new Adam Smith 300 Enterprise Scholarship
Aimed at supporting students taking their first steps in setting up their own business , the new Adam Smith 300 Enterprise Scholarship includes financial support , thanks to a donation from Fife Council . The successful candidate will also benefit from a residency within the new Design Suite in the refurbished Adam Smith Theatre , thanks to OnFife , as well as mentoring support and guidance from Business Gateway Fife .
Adam Smith Scholarships , previously known as Adam Smith Foundation , was set up in 1997 by the former Fife College Principal , Joyce
Johnston . Since it was established it has awarded 2,378 students a share of over £ 1 million .
Many students have found receiving a scholarship to be life-changing , enabling them to remain at college , purchase the resources they need to continue with their studies and achieve their dreams .
Jim Metcalfe , Fife College Principal , said : “ We are immensely proud of our Adam Smith Scholarships programme , which is one of the largest college scholarship programmes in the country .
“ Awarding over £ 1 million to date , the programme has supported thousands of Fife College students , developing opportunities , opening doors , and transforming lives .
“ We are certain that Adam Smith would be very pleased that we marked his tercentenary in this special way , supporting our students in Fife to be entrepreneurs of the future .”
