About Us
The Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund (GMCTF) was established more than a century ago and works to promote education for the people of Sudan and South Sudan by giving small grants to individuals and organizations.
In recent years, the GMCTF has focused its support on:
Supporting organizations working to improve access to higher education in Sudan and South Sudan, and
Supporting individuals who are undertaking postgraduate study in countries neighbouring Sudan and South Sudan, or in the UK, and who intend to return to work in Sudan or South Sudan on completion of study
The GMCTF is a small charity and is rarely able to meet the full cost of any project, or any individual’s study. Preference is given to applications for funds where the applicant also has funds from other sources.
According to the terms of the charitable bequests which underpin GMCTF’s activities, a significant proportion of GMCTF’s funding must be used specifically for the support of women’s education.
The GMCTF is a charity, registered in the UK. It is administered by a group of trustees and an executive committee.
Funding Grants
Once a year, the GMCTF offers a small number of grants to individuals and organisations that are undertaking postgraduate study or projects that will ultimately benefit life in Sudan/South Sudan. Applications are open from 1st December to 28th February each year. More information on the application process can be found by following the link below.
UPDATE: In view of the current difficulties in Sudan, the trustees have decided not to invite new applications for grants until the situation becomes clearer. In the meantime, the trustees are hoping to support targeted efforts to restore undergraduate educational opportunities. The trustees will continue to support students from both Sudan and South Sudan who are currently receiving grants and the trust secretary will contact those individuals in due course.
