James McCune Smith Undergraduate Scholarship

The University of Glasgow has up to 30 undergraduate scholarships available for students of African/African-Caribbean backgrounds. The scholarship supports students who could face financial difficulties taking up their place to study at the university. The value of the scholarship is £4,000, paid in instalments for year one of undergraduate study. The scholarship is open to new applicants to the university for 2026 entry. Current students who have previously been in receipt of the award may reapply, however, preference will be given to applicants entering their first year of study. Applicants must be classed as 'Home' or 'RUK' for fee purposes and have firmly accepted an offer of a place to study a full-time undergraduate programme at the University of Glasgow. The scholarship is available across all undergraduate degree programmes offered by the university, spanning diverse fields from engineering and sciences to arts and humanities.
