The NUS Scotland awards are an annual celebration of the excellent work students’ associations, officers and staff do across Scotland.
They are an opportunity for hard working students and staff to receive some much deserved recognition, as well as a chance to highlight some of the brilliant achievements of our movement over the last year.
