Since its launch in 2022, grants totalling £34,000 have helped 18 students starting full-time and part-time courses purchase educational essentials such as textbooks and specialist equipment to aid their studies.

The Bursary was created by Queens Cross Community Foundation for residents living in the Queens Cross Housing Association (QCHA) area of Glasgow.

Medical student and local resident Adnan (pictured), who is studying at the University of Edinburgh, was one of last year’s John Gray Bursary beneficiaries.

Adnan said: "I was over the moon when I got accepted for the John Gray Bursary award. It is so amazing that as a local resident that I was able to get financial support towards my academic studies. After getting the grant, I was able to buy a new stethoscope, medical scrubs, lab coat and some medical books.”
