German Association

The University of St Andrews German Association (or Verein der Freunde und Forderer der University of St Andrews) has been established to strengthen the links between alumni and friends in Germany and the University. 

Through a combination of regular events and communications, the German Association provides a hub for the St Andrews community across Germany to network and maintain their connection with St Andrews.

The Association also aims to enhance existing scholarship provision at the University, through the establishment of a Germany Wardlaw Scholarship, and offers a tax-effective way for donors in Germany to give to the University.

The annual cost to become a member of the German Association is €60.00.
