University of Edinburgh 2024/25 Graduate Scholarships Scheme

The University of Edinburgh offers a Graduate Scholarship designed for both home and overseas students pursuing postgraduate studies. This scholarship helps cover the self-funded portion of the tuition fee, making education at this prestigious institution more accessible.

What is the Self-Funding Element?

The self-funding element refers to the part of your tuition fee that you are personally responsible for paying. It excludes any portion of the tuition fee covered by other scholarships, a funding body, your employer, or any other external sources. However, if you are receiving a tuition fee loan through the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) or Student Finance Northern Ireland (SFNI), these funds will be sent directly to the University but are still considered a self-funding element.

Important: After you receive your SAAS or SFNI award letter, reach out to the Fees and Student Support team to confirm that the full Graduate Scholarship has been applied to your fee record.

Scholarship Benefits

Successful applicants under the Graduate International Scholarships Scheme will receive a tuition fee reduction for the self-funding portion of their postgraduate degree. This scholarship applies solely to tuition fees and does not cover any additional program or research-related costs.

Scholarship Eligibility

To qualify for the Graduate Scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Enrollment in a postgraduate program at the University of Edinburgh.
• Payment of the self-funding portion of the tuition fee.
• Fulfillment of admission requirements for the chosen postgraduate program.

This scholarship is available to both domestic and international students. Applicants need to apply for each eligible postgraduate program separately to ensure they receive the scholarship for each program.
