Scotland's Saltire Scholarships

The scholarships will be awarded to citizens who are permanently and ordinarily resident in Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Pakistan, and the USA, and who are accepted for admission on a full-time basis for a postgraduate one year Masters programme of study at the University of Edinburgh in subjects related to the following themes:

• Science
• Technology
• Creative Industries
• Healthcare and medical sciences
• Renewable and clean energy

Please note that applicants for online distance learning Masters programmes will not be considered for this award.

Applicants should already have been offered a place at the University of Edinburgh and should have firmly accepted that offer by the scholarship closing date.

Applicants should not have completed an undergraduate degree in Scotland.

These scholarships are supported and funded by the Scottish Government in partnership with the University of Edinburgh.

Scholars will be expected to participate in a number of activities throughout the academic year in addition to their course of study, including welcome and end of year events and the promotion of Scotland and Scottish Higher Education.
