The University of Edinburgh Scholarship (for students pre 2020 entry)

The University of Edinburgh Scholarship provides financial support for undergraduate students from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland based on their family's household income. This scholarship reflects the University's long tradition of supporting students of all ages and social backgrounds to enter higher education, ensuring financial circumstances do not prevent the brightest and best students from attending. The award amounts vary depending on residual household income and year of entry, ranging from £520 to £8,500 per year. Students can use the award to contribute towards tuition fee costs or general living costs while studying at Edinburgh. The scholarship is automatically assessed based on Student Loans Company data, requiring no separate application. Eligible students are entitled to one additional year of scholarship support during their programme of study, known as a +1 year. Recipients receive their awards in two instalments per academic year, paid directly into their bank account.
