The Foundation was established in 1997 and through partnerships with businesses, charitable trusts and individual donors works together to improve and aid opportunities for students studying at Fife College. The scholarship programme also provides recognition, financial rewards and often work experience for students throughout Fife. All donations received from donors are transferred directly to the successful students; no money is retained by Fife College or the Foundation.

Fife College Students' Association
