Who are the Crichton Foundation?

The Crichton Foundation gives awards to celebrate academic excellence and reward individual achievements. Grants are also awarded to individual, or groups of, students who clearly demonstrate the need for support. The Foundation also pays grants to address valid cases of individual hardship.

There are 4 application deadlines each year, so make sure you don’t miss them! Get in touch with Pam and Kirsty either Browne House or via email here a couple of weeks in advance of the deadline to get advice on your application.

History and Heritage

The Crichton Foundation was originally set up by Elizabeth Crichton who purchased our picturesque campus. Over the years it has had many uses and today houses our University and College buildings and is therefore in keeping with the original legacy of Elizabeth Crichton. Today the Foundation preserves the heritage of the campus, develops the Crichton estate as a public asset for the whole community and raises awareness of its importance to the prosperity of the region of the Crichton Campus.
