With the generous help of many alumni and friends of Heriot-Watt University, the Alumni Fund has created life-changing opportunities for individual students. Every year, 40 talented students with challenging or difficult circumstances are supported by an Alumni Fund scholarship. The Welfare Office has been able to extend its provision for student hardship and so has helped many students stay on course for their degrees. In addition, many recent graduates are reconnecting with the University to take part in career planning workshops, act as role models and a source of inspiration to their successors.
