Alumni give back
Generous donations from our alumni community have supported a number of initiatives to widen access to higher education and enhance student life at RGU.

The projects – which include student scholarships, welfare services and the arts – will be supported by money raised during the student caller campaign, which took place at the beginning of the summer. A team of students spoke to more than 1,500 alumni around the world, updating them on campus news and engaging them with upcoming university projects. “RGU has been shaped by the generosity of our alumni and philanthropists,” said John Harper, Principal and Vice Chancellor of RGU. “The University has been built on philanthropy from its beginnings with Robert Gordon, to John Gray and Thomas Scott Sutherland. I am so grateful to all our alumni who have chosen to continue this tradition and make a contribution to support current and future generations of RGU students.” One of the projects to benefit from funding is the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. This internationally recognised youth achievement award programme has been set up by RGU students, and is open to all students to participate.
