More than 140 students have been awarded scholarships to help them on their academic journey.
A total of 143 Fife College students have been awarded Russell Trust scholarships, worth between £50 and £300, to help them invest in resources to support their learning.
A special awards ceremony was held at the Carnegie Conference Centre to celebrate the students' achievements.
The event was attended by two trustees from the Russell Trust, Alice Croal and Cecilia Russell, who presented certificates to the scholarship winners.
The event also featured a keynote speech from Sharrell Carroll, a former HND Media and Communication student and past scholarship recipient.
She shared her inspirational journey, highlighting the lasting impact of the Russell Trust scholarship on her academic and personal growth.
Photography student Katie Lowndes, from Kirkcaldy, was one of this year's scholarship winners.
She said: "This will benefit me massively as I have been saving for a photography lens for months and this will mean I can finally afford it.
"Being a scholarship winner will also look amazing on my CV.
"Going back into full-time education has been really difficult, but I have worked so hard, and this has made my year."
The Russell Trust scholarship is one of the most significant awards offered through Adam Smith Scholarships, part of Fife College.
Each year, the fund contributes £15,000 to support students.
Cecilia Russell, Trustee of the Russell Trust, said: "We are delighted to be able to support the students of Fife College through the Russell Trust scholarships, and we extend our warmest congratulations to this year’s recipients.
"Sir David Russell, the founder of the Russell Trust, was a passionate advocate for advancing education among young people in Fife."
