Support St Andrews Ever to Excel

This year the University of St Andrews achieved a historic double first by being ranked Number 1 in the UK by both The Guardian University Guide and The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide. This is an endorsement of the excellence we deliver in teaching, student experience and opportunities post-graduation.

Family philanthropy plays a critical role in helping us to achieve this excellence. We simply would not achieve these rankings without the exceptional support from the global St Andrews community. This community has enabled us to build the award-winning Laidlaw Music Centre, to restore the iconic Younger Hall to its original splendour and – most recently – to increase the level of support available for students facing financial hardship. This has been particularly important during the past year because of the cost of living crisis, the impact of which continues.

These projects were all supported in part by donations to the University’s Areas of Greatest Need – flexible funds that enable the University to allocate resources as needed to cultivate an environment of excellence here at St Andrews.

Please consider making a gift to this fund, so we can continue providing the very best experience for all St Andrews students.

Thank you.
