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. 

Once a year, GMCTF offers a small number of grants to individuals 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 as soon as circumstances allow. We also usually fund between one and three organisations per year with grants towards existing initiatives - either in Sudan or in neighbouring countries – that support continued learning for university students displaced from Sudan.

The 2026 funding programme is now closed and we cannot accept any further applications.

We do not currently have any other funding opportunities. All announcements on future grant programmes will be announced on this site.

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