Magnusson Fund

Take a giant leap with a Magnusson Award

We want to hear from Glasgow Caledonian students in their second year and upwards and early career researchers with big ambitions who want to step out of their comfort zone to explore, learn, help others, and have new life experiences, locally and around the globe, all in the name of the Common Good.

The Magnusson Fund offers awards of up to £5,000, supported by donors including Sir Alex Ferguson and Santander. If you want to bring your dream project to life - take action and make it happen!
