Charitable Arm

The Foundation has a justly-deserved privileged status due to its work as a charitable trust in raising substantial investment funding for the Crichton Campus. This on-going success in fundraising has protected the original endowment of Elizabeth Crichton, enabled awards and grants to be offered to individual students, assisted Campus partners in developing their programmes and collaborative working and preserved the Crichton estate as a public asset appreciated by the whole community.

The Foundation encourages local people, businesses and organisations to take an active interest in the Crichton Campus and help to achieve its charitable aims and objectives which are:

  • Creating a centre of academic excellence and enterprise in the South of Scotland
  • Increasing access to Higher Education
  • Providing grants to students
  • Encouraging collaborative development between academic institutions
