Saints Abroad Scholarship

The Global Office offers a range of scholarships to support University of St Andrews students who will be studying or working abroad as part of their degree programme through the Saints Abroad scholarship portfolio. These scholarships range from £500 to £12,000 and are open to undergraduate and postgraduate research (PGR) and taught students (PGT) undertaking overseas placements related to their degree programme or PhD. The scholarships are generously supported by donors, including the Miss Marjorie Moncrieff Travel Scholarship, the Lesley B Hinde Stevens Travel Bursary, the Nisbet Memorial Travel Scholarship, and others. The programme is also open to students undertaking summer opportunities related to their degree programme or volunteering opportunities supported by the University, taking place in summer 2026. The Global Office is committed to supporting sustainable international travel where possible, and students may apply to this fund to offset some of the costs related to more sustainable forms of travel for their semester or year abroad, for example, travelling by train rather than plane. Awards are made based on financial need and students must provide a personal statement of around 500 words outlining how the scholarship will support their study, work or summer placement, along with a detailed budget breakdown.
