Colleges Scotland and Universities Scotland have welcomed the endorsement of Scottish Government Ministers for the Game Changer Awards.

"The XX Commonwealth Games this year will provide people from all walks of life an exciting opportunity to be involved in a world class sporting event in Scotland. It's fantastic to see Scotland's further and higher education institutions getting involved to ensure that Glasgow 2014 is a success.
The Game Changer Awards are an opportunity to recognise the wide variety of contributions made by staff and students from our colleges and universities and I wish everyone luck with their applications."
