Vet Fund
The Vet Fund
The University of Glasgow's School of Veterinary Medicine is firmly established as a world renowned centre for education, research and clinical studies.
We have a long history at the forefront of developments in the care and treatment of animals and animal diseases. Help us continue this excellence.
By contributing towards the Vet Fund you can help us to remain at the forefront of Veterinary Medicine, help with ground breaking research or even commemorate the life of a much loved pet.
Your gift will help us to support new generations of vets and the animals in their care and to contribute to pioneering future standards in animal treatment and welfare.
The James Herriot Scholarship Fund in Veterinary Medicine
Gifts will enable us to award scholarships to excellent undergraduate and postgraduate veterinary students who, through financial constraints, may otherwise not be able to study at Glasgow. These scholarships will be crucial in providing opportunity to the most promising individuals from home and around the world, helping us to develop the academic leaders of the future and to train a new generation equipped to tackle future global challenges in animal health and welfare.
Gifts to the Fund of £500 (£10 per month) and over are recognised within our Giving to Glasgow donor magazine.
Full scholarships are particularly prized, helping to bring the very best and brightest to Glasgow. Please contact us if you would like to fund and name a full scholarship.

The Equine Fund enables our donors to support the work of the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare at the University of Glasgow. The Weipers Centre offers the highest standards of veterinary care through the expertise of its internationally recognised staff and the most advanced diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical techniques for horses and ponies.

Veterinary research
Glasgow has a long-held and outstanding international reputation in veterinary research, which continues to this day.
Staff in the School of Veterinary Medicine lead portfolios of clinical veterinary research within the School's small animal and large animal (equine and production animal) practices, which complements our veterinary bioscience research and feeds into the world class teaching provided by the School.
By supporting Veterinary Research at Glasgow, you can help us to remain at the forefront of Veterinary Medicine, help with ground breaking research or even commemorate the life of a much loved pet.
Your gift will help us to support new generations of vets and the animals in their care and to contribute to pioneering future standards in animal treatment and welfare.
The Jimmy Armour Student Support Fund
The Jimmy Armour Student Support Fund will provide vital support to cover the costs associated with Extra Mural Studies (EMS), or ‘Seeing Practice’ as it was known, for our undergraduate Vet students. The fund will benefit Vet students who are facing difficulty and would otherwise struggle to complete their EMS.
Over the course of their degrees, our Vet students must undertake 38 weeks of placement in total. However, students from deprived backgrounds can struggle to take advantage of placement opportunities far from Glasgow as these are usually unpaid, without accommodation and require time away from any part-time jobs they may depend on.
