Story

Take on a 525 Challenge this February and help us provide life-changing support to students at the University of Aberdeen through the Covid-19 525 Bursary Fund.

In these unusual times, where we are unable to participate in events and connect with people in the way we are used to, we need to find new ways to keep connected and motivated. This is the perfect opportunity for you to take part in a challenge that you normally wouldn't find time for, like the 525 Challenge.

We will support you in your challenge over the month of February to take on 525 miles or 52.5 miles - take part whatever way will keep you moving and motivated.

The University is committed to providing an environment where all students can achieve success, whatever their background. The University set up the Covid-19 525 Bursary Fund to support students facing severe financial hardship as a result of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic.

This is the area we are encouraging you to support but please do get in touch if you would like to support a different area of research or a specific department. For assistance or to get in touch please contact Lynne Black at lynne.black@abdn.ac.uk.

Remember if you are taking part to set up your Strava page and connect to the University of Aberdeen Development Trust 525 Challenge Strava group to track and share your progress - www.strava.com/clubs/525Challenge
