Five Fife College students received a festive boost after being awarded special scholarships for their efforts to help tackle climate change.
Computing student Josie Chaplin won the overall prize, receiving a new laptop for her essay about how she has adopted a greener lifestyle.
Four other students, Kaylee Smith, Michelle Stuart, Alexandru Gorea and Neil Wallas also received Climate Change Scholarship runner-up awards of £150/£100 each for submissions on the steps they are taking to help address the challenges of climate change.
Awarded by Adam Smith Scholarships, part of Fife College, the scholarship is sponsored by the Earlseat Wind Farm and the College’s Estates Team.
This is the second year of the Climate Change Scholarship, which was launched last year to coincide with the hosting of COP26 in Glasgow and opened this year to coincide with COP27 in Egypt.
To apply for the scholarship, students were asked to submit an entry via an essay, piece of art, video, presentation or another medium, highlighting actions they are taking to combat climate change.
