About This Opportunity

The Robertson Trust Scholarship is jointly funded by The Robertson Trust and University of Edinburgh, supporting career development amongst Scottish undergraduates since 1992. The Robertson Trust's Journey to Success programme offers financial support for those aged 16-25 to overcome financial and social barriers to gain the university education they aspire to. The scholarship provides comprehensive mentoring and support including Welcome Events to build peer support networks, leadership development opportunities, personal development training sessions, career pathways and internships support, and access to an alumni network. The program is designed to ease transition into university, maximize degree potential, and improve self-awareness needed for university and graduate recruitment success.
