Dr Gordon H Carruthers Wardlaw Scholarship (West of Scotland)

This scholarship was established by a generous donation from Dr Gordon H Carruthers OBE to support students from the West of Scotland in their studies at St Andrews. The scholarship forms part of the Wardlaw Scholarship scheme, established in 2004 to provide financial assistance to academically gifted students who would otherwise struggle with the cost of studying at the University of St Andrews. The scholarship provides £4,400 per year paid as maintenance, which can be used towards University accommodation fees. Maintenance is paid in ten monthly instalments directly to the student's bank account from September to May, with a double payment in February. This award is paid annually for the duration of the student's undergraduate programme and is available to Scottish home students studying any subject at the undergraduate level. Selection is based on financial need and donor-specific criteria.
