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 organisations. 

In light of the current conflict in Sudan, GMCTF is focusing activities on:

• Support to Sudanese and South Sudanese women who are undertaking postgraduate study in countries neighbouring Sudan and South Sudan, or in the UK, and who intend to return to work in South Sudan or Sudan as soon as circumstances allow

• Support for organisations working to improve access to higher education in Sudan and South Sudan and for those displaced from Sudan

Once a year, 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. THE 2025 FUNDING PROGRAMME HAS NOW CLOSED.

We will update this page as when other funding opportunities are announced.

GMCTF is a charity, registered in the UK. It is administered by a group of trustees and an executive committee.
