successes in November.
Over 30 QMU students were joined by the
University’s staff and supporters at a very special
event which showcased the scholarship and
award winners of 2015/16. This included
students who were supported by individual
donors and organisations including
Santander Universities, Alzheimer
Scotland, Dakota Hotels, Ryder Cup
bursary scheme, as well as by the
University’s Vice-Chancellor’s Fund,
Student Development Fund and
Princess Alice Award.
The award-winning students were joined by

CBE, as well as the companies and individuals
whose generous support has helped boost their
academic experience, personal development and
made special student projects possible.

support of organisations, individuals and
QMU graduates, which greatly enhances the
experience of those students who receive
scholarships and awards.

students’ academic experience, build their
confidence, broaden their horizons and allow
them make a real contribution to their field or to
serving society’s needs.”
