The Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund is providing the Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund (GMCTF) Grants for Sudanese Students in the UK. Grants are only made for one year at a time.

Grants may be given towards the cost of course fees, and/or food and accommodation, and occasionally for other academic expenses, such as books. The purpose of the Fund is to promote educational development in South Sudan and Sudan.

Gordon Memorial College, an educational institution in Sudan, was built between 1899 and 1902 as part of Lord Kitchener’s wide-ranging educational reforms, and also named in honor of Gordon.

• Course Level: Grants may be awarded for postgraduate studies (diploma, masters or doctoral courses) or for short training courses of a few weeks or months duration.
• Study Subject(s): Scholarships are awarded in all disciplines. It is, however, important to the GMCTF that courses studied will enable applicants to contribute to the skills base of Sudan/South Sudan on their return. The GMCTF may give some preference to supporting subjects and areas of study of perceived value to Sudan/South Sudan.
