He comments: “My fellow Directors and I truly enjoy being involved in the life and mission of the University. Lancaster is a genuinely global institution! As well as delivering Lancaster degrees in Ghana, China, Malaysia and Germany, its outstanding, high-impact research tackles issues of international significance. This summer we are launching the Friends’ first open grant call within Lancaster University for initiatives with the potential for true global impact. Initiatives could range from offering a scholarship for a student from the developing world, to helping fund research projects – possibly into worldwide diseases like cancer or Parkinson’s, or into the challenge of alleviating extreme poverty in Africa.” THE FRIENDSOF LANCASTER UNIVERSITY INAMERICA (FLUA) IS ANAMERICAN 501(C) CHARITY.

HOW YOU CAN MAKE A GLOBAL IMPACT “Donors to FLUA have made it possible for us to make £25,000 available to award these global impact grants to Lancaster University projects, but with your support we could achieve so much more.
