Adam Smith Foundation
The Adam Smith Enterprise and Education Foundation, also known as the Adam Smith Foundation, is the charitable trust of Adam Smith College. The Foundation was established in 1997 to improve and extend opportunities for students.
Through partnership with businesses, charitable trusts and individual donors the Foundation has developed a Scholarship Programme which provides recognition, a financial award, and in some cases, work experience and internships to support and encourage students to achieve their full potential.
All funds received from donors are transferred directly to the successful students and no money is retained by the College/Foundation. These awards are used to provide direct assistance to students to support and augment their studies.
