School of Divinity MLitt Scholarship

The School of Divinity at the University of St Andrews is offering a scholarship to MLitt students with the aim of widening access to students from groups traditionally excluded or under-represented in academia. All MLitt courses in the School of Divinity are eligible for this award. Applicants must either be applying for a full-time MLitt course due to start in September 2026, or currently undertaking an online MLitt course continuing beyond September 2026. The scholarship gives consideration to various criteria including applicants from developing economies, members of excluded or under-represented minorities, students from ethnic minorities, students with disabilities, first-generation university students, socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with household income less than £34,000. Two awards are available - one for Home students (£5,000) and one for Overseas students (£10,000). Awards are paid towards tuition fees. Online or part-time students will receive the total value of the award over the duration of their degree on a pro rata per year basis.
