Cowrie Foundation Scholarship

The University of Glasgow and The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation (CSF) offer a scholarship to support Black African and Caribbean heritage applicants from socio-economically challenged backgrounds. Applicants must be ordinarily resident in the UK and commencing an undergraduate study programme. The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation aims to fund 100 Black British students through UK universities in the next decade. The scholarship provides significant financial support to students from households with income of £35,000 per annum or less, who have been accepted for admission to a first undergraduate full-time degree programme at the University of Glasgow. Recipients must have been assessed for fee status as 'Home' or 'RUK' and made an application to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) or Student Finance (England, Wales or Northern Ireland) for tuition fee support and maintenance loan.
