Awards supported through our non-core programme funds

SFC also makes targeted, time-limited investments to support national priorities in Scotland’s colleges and universities.

Reporting on awards supported through our non-core programme funds

We ask colleges and universities that receive these awards to tell us about their achievements and use of funding - see the Reporting on awards supported through our non-core programme funds page.
