The Stuart MacQuarrie Bursaries for Care-Experienced & Estranged Students.

Stuart was University Chaplain from 2001 until his retirement in 2020 and was known by many in the University of Glasgow community as a genuine, compassionate and caring man whose door was always open. During his time at the University, he celebrated our successes and triumphs as well as being there and offering support in our times of need or loss. The immense value of Stuart’s support for many grieving families is difficult to sum up in a few words. The time and care he took to support members of the University and their loved ones with his own unique brand of gentle humour was well known.” – Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli Principal and Vice Chancellor, University of Glasgow.

To be awarded in 2024-2025, The Stuart MacQuarrie Bursaries for Care-Experienced & Estranged Students will provide up to five students with £1,500 for each year of their study. The programme will run alongside the Talent Scholarship programme, but the bursaries specifically help students who have no family support to complete their studies. With this life-changing support, care-experienced and students estranged from their families can overcome the barriers they face and fully achieve their potential.

Donations made in Stuart's memory will support the bursary fund.
