Chemistry Tercentenary Access Bursary

The Chemistry Tercentenary Access Bursary was established to celebrate 300 years of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh in 2013. Since the Tercentenary, alumni, friends of the School of Chemistry, and industry partners including Afton Chemical have donated to support students in financial need. The bursary provides financial support to undergraduate students of outstanding potential who face financial barriers to higher education. Three bursaries are available each year for new students joining in September. The bursary is aimed at students attending schools with low attainment or progression to Higher Education, from disadvantaged backgrounds based on area deprivation measures, people with care experience, young carers, refugees or those with asylum seeker status, and those involved in LEAPS or other Widening Participation programmes. Recipients must demonstrate strong academic performance and be accepted for full-time admission to an undergraduate degree programme offered by the School of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh.
