Fairweather Bursary
The Fairweather Bursary was established by the trustees of Mary Ann Fairweather (née Sharp, 1820-1881) in memory of her husband, Dundee painter Alexander White Fairweather. She asked her trustees to set up bursaries for school education in Dundee, and for university education for children from Dundee, but left the details to the trustees. One of the trustees was Professor William Knight of the University of St Andrews, and the rules established in 1881 offered one university bursary per year in the United College.
The Fairweather Trust was merged in 1928 into the City of Dundee Educational Trust, which continued to offer school and university bursaries for children in Dundee (no longer limited to the University of St Andrews).
