20% Graduate Scholarship available for postgraduate programmes

The University of Edinburgh are offering a 20% scholarship to all final year undergraduates and alumni on postgraduate programmes starting in September 2020.

Final year undergraduates or alumni who are considering starting a postgraduate programme in September 2020 can now receive a 20% discount on the self-funding element of the postgraduate degree tutition fee. This means the the part which you are personally paying yourself. This does not cover the element of tuition fee which is covered by another scholarship, funding body, your employer, a company, or any another source of funding. The Graduate Scholarship also does not apply to any additional costs such as additional programme costs or research costs.

How to apply

In order to receive the Graduate Scholarship, you must complete the online form. There is no deadline for submitting an application but you are advised to complete the online form before you start your postgraduate studies to ensure that your tuition fee invoice is correct.

The Scholarship can be applied to multiple eligible postgraduate programmes, for example an eligible master’s programme and then an eligible research programme.

You should submit an application for each postgraduate programme you are undertaking to allow us to assess your eligibility.

If you have any questions please email the Fees and Student Support staff via fees@ed.ac.uk.
