A Lochgelly student has been awarded a special scholarship to support her studies.
Fabrication and welding engineering student Lorna Downie, from Lochgelly, was one of five Fife College students to receive a £500 scholarship from Arnold Clark.
The scholarship, presented through the Adam Smith Scholarships programme, is designed to help students purchase essential resources and materials to enhance their studies.
Ms Downie said: "I feel so proud of myself and over the moon to be given support and to see people believe in me.
"The scholarship will go towards funding for continued education."
The recipients were given their awards by Arnold Clark's group head of people, Lynne McBurney, at a ceremony in the college's vehicle workshop on the Glenrothes campus.
Ms McBurney said: "We’re thrilled to provide these scholarships to Fife College students and hope they make a real difference in helping them access the materials and resources they need to succeed in their studies.
"Supporting the community is at the heart of what we do at Arnold Clark, and we’re always looking for new and impactful ways to support local initiatives."
Ms McBurney and Carole Anne McCann, group recruitment manager, were welcomed by assistant principal Iain Hawker and other college representatives.
They took the opportunity to learn about the students' career aspirations and future plans.
Lyn Gold, scholarship and alumni engagement lead at Fife College, said: "Arnold Clark has been a fantastic supporter of Fife College students for many years, and we’re deeply appreciative of their ongoing commitment.
"These new scholarship awards will have an immediate and positive impact on the students, helping to shape their academic journeys and future aspirations.
"All of this year’s scholarship winners are truly deserving of their awards.
"We wish them every success in their studies and future careers, and we look forward to strengthening our partnership with Arnold Clark."
Arnold Clark has been offering scholarships at Fife College for several years.
Some previous recipients have secured employment with the company after completing their studies.
