AAF Allocation

Ensuring your support has maximum impact

As decided by the alumni body in 2010, donors to the AAF can choose to direct their gift towards one of three strategic priorities: scholarships, lifelong learning or the Dean's Development Fund. Every gift brings us one step closer towards our goals. 

The Dean's Development Fund - £75,922.44

Ensuring student support remains at the heart of our community

Gifts to the Dean’s Development Fund enable the School to fund to areas of current greatest need. Dean Peter Tufano oversees this fund, with the advisory support of key faculty. As with the previous year’s funds, student support remains a priority as we continue to grow into a world-class business school community. This year, the full 100% of the Dean’s Development Fund will be allocated toward scholarships for a total of £83,806.99.

Lifelong Learning (£4,390.00)

PROVIDING ALUMNI ACCESS TO WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH AND TEACHING

Last year, the Lifelong Learning fund provided alumni with access to online-business databases through GOTO. This year, in addition to the databases, the Lifelong Learning fund will provide a series of short faculty videos where they share their latest research and insights direct with the alumni community.

Check out the video’s by Professor Mungo Wilson talking about his research on Asset Pricing and Dr Peagram Harrison on the 'Engaging with the humanities programme':

It is worth remembering how much can be achieved by each alumnus giving what they can...

50 alumni donating £100 each pays for a year’s subscription of alumni journal access

25 alumni making a gift of £200 supports a Community Fund grant to help students tackle world-scale problems

20 alumni giving £30 a month for 5 years funds a full MFE scholarship
