Unite Foundation Scholarship

The Unite Foundation Scholarship provides accommodation awards for care experienced or estranged students at the University of Edinburgh. Each award gives eligible students a free ensuite student bedroom in a purpose-built Unite Students building for three years of undergraduate study. Successful applicants receive accommodation for 52 weeks each year during their three-year period of study. The awards are intended to support access to higher education for students who have previously been in Local Authority care, similar residential provision for young homeless adults, or who are estranged from their family. Recipients are provided with a single study ensuite bedroom in a shared flat with a communal kitchen, with all accommodation costs fully covered.
