Sir Alex Ferguson and Dr Murray Rowden have pledged £500,000 to fund the education of 150 undergraduates at Glasgow Caledonian University, with scholarships that include mentoring. The pledge coincides with the university marking 150 years since the founding Glasgow School of Cookery. The announcement took place during an anniversary event on the city centre campus hosted by chancellor Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon and attended by supporters and honorary graduates. Sir Alex emphasized scholarships, travel awards, and mentorship as life-changing supports that deliver financial means, confidence, and encouragement. Sir Alex previously launched the GCU Foundation in 2015 and has helped raise over £11 million for disadvantaged students.
