World Changers Glasgow Scholarship UG (EU)
The University of Glasgow continues to be committed to ensuring a strong relationship with our existing and future EU students, and supporting EU talent to make their home at the University of Glasgow.

To be eligible, applicants must meet direct entry criteria, be enrolled on an eligible undergraduate programme for September 2026 intake, and have EU fee status. The University of Glasgow is committed to support as many self-funded students as possible which is why UofG discounts and scholarships cannot be combined with one another or any external sponsorship discounts (with the exception of Alumni Discount).

The University of Glasgow is offering travel bursaries to assist with public transport travel costs, to support undergraduate students who could face financial difficulties in taking up their place to study at the University for 2026 entry.

Please note that if you are under 22 years of age and can reasonably travel to Campus by bus, you will not be considered for the travel bursary due to the Scottish Government's Young Persons' Free Bus Travel scheme which gives free bus travel to young people under 22 years of age.
