Thank you for choosing to donate towards the Principal's Strategic Response Fund.

The world has changed beyond recognition during the past few weeks, and the daily life of the University of St Andrews and our local community with it.

We have all had to make difficult decisions and take steps that would have been unthinkable until recently, which is why we are also launching a focused appeal to help our students, for research that will contribute to the defeat of Covid-19, to engage with and support our local community and to reach areas of greatest need at this time.

What is the Principal's Strategic Response Fund?

Our general fund for all other aspects of Covid-19 related impacts across the University community; from research to training, to student experience, to engage with and support our local community and day to day operations of the University.

Why are we asking for help?

We are currently in an unprecedented situation. Administered by the Principal’s Office, this fund supports two key areas:

Principal’s Strategic Response Fund: to reach the University’s areas of greatest need at this exceptional time.

University Community Fund: to engage with and support our local community, to listen to ideas, adapt to local needs, and provide financial support to deliver tangible benefits for the wider community.

We have come through many seismic events during our more-than 600 years of history and, with your help, we will come through this too.

Thank you for helping.
