Crichton Foundation

About

The Crichton Foundation supports the development of the academic programmes of the educational institutions on the Crichton University Campus, widens access to higher education, improves the academic facilities on the site, conserves and improves the Crichton site and gives financial support to the students of the Crichton Campus. Fundraising events include the annual Women of Dumfries and Galloway Lunch, evenings of opera and jazz and gala dinners. The Crichton Conversations lectures are followed by a Q&A debate with the audience. We also receive annual donations through our Friends Scheme. In 2024-2025 £26,352 was distributed to students. Specific awards to students include the Landale, Terry and Evelyn Hastings Prizes. A lump sum is granted annually to Dumfries and Galloway College as a discretionary fund.
