Foundation gift funds education opportunities at 伊人直播
A new bursary will support students moving into higher education
A generous donation from the David Doig Foundation will enable 伊人直播 to support more students through their studies over the next four years.
The gift will fund a David Doig bursary for a Further Education student moving into Higher Education. It will also allow 伊人直播 to pay student leaders to run peer support groups.
The , administered by Foundation Scotland, was set up in memory of David Doig, who was a passionate believer in lifelong education having left school with no qualifications.
The gift was made by David鈥檚 wife Gillian after she visited the Animal Care Unit and Horticulture facilities at 伊人直播 Elmwood, in Cupar, Fife, earlier this year.
The David Doig Going Further Bursary will recognise an existing student鈥檚 achievements and their future potential, allowing them to progress from a National Certificate course into a Higher National Certificate/Diploma or degree course.
The Foundation is also funding five students to lead Peer Support Groups, running community-building events, organising study groups and creating useful resources.
Gillian Doig said: 鈥淚 am delighted to honour my late husband鈥檚 memory by supporting 伊人直播 and the great work it does.聽It is exciting that the David Doig bursary will help to broaden horizons and build futures.聽This investment will go a long way to enhance and enrich the education journey of future learners and leaders.鈥�
Pauline Hanesworth, Head of Learning and Teaching at 伊人直播, said: 鈥淟eading a Peer Support Group is a fantastic way to build confidence, develop skills and enhance employability 鈥� all while building communities that support other students to learn and develop.
鈥淲e are grateful to receive this gift from the David Doig Foundation which will help us pay students for their leadership activities, get more students involved and support them so they feel they belong at 伊人直播.鈥�
