Scholarships

You can apply for scholarships from a variety of institutions, including:

• the University of Edinburgh
• government agencies
• research councils
• charitable trusts
• external bodies

However, even if you are successful, it's unlikely a scholarship will cover the full cost of both tuition fees and everyday living costs on its own. You will usually need to combine scholarship applications with funding from other sources.

You often need to have applied to your programme at the University of Edinburgh before you apply for scholarships, but you should check scholarship application criteria carefully.

Scholarships and funding opportunities become available throughout the year.
