Scotland’s Saltire Scholarships

SI-UK would like to make those interested in studying at a Scottish university aware of the upcoming deadline to apply for the Saltire Scholarship. Learn more about the scholarship and eligibility criteria below. 

What is the Saltire Scholarship?

Scotland’s Saltire Scholarships is a program of scholarships offered by the Scottish Government in collaboration with Scottish universities and colleges. 

Scotland’s Saltire Scholarships are an incredible opportunity to study in a country with world-leading universities and a long tradition of academic excellence.

Those who are chosen for this scholarship are people who aspire to become influential leaders in their future careers. They have wide ranging interests outside their studies and a desire to broaden their personal and academic experience in Scotland. 

How many scholarships offers are there and how much is the scholarship worth?

The scheme offers up to 50 awards, each worth £8000, towards tuition fees for any one year of full time study on a postgraduate Masters programme at any of Scotland’s higher education institutions. 

Who is eligible for the Saltire Scholarships?

Scholarships are available to citizens of the following countries: Canada, China (including Hong Kong), India, Japan, Pakistan and USA. 

Saltire Scholars will also have the opportunity to take part in a programme of activities over and above their studies, including dialogue with the academic and business community in Scotland.

As a Saltire Scholar, you will act as an ambassador not only for the Saltire Scholarships program, but also for Scotland. You can find out more about these aspects of the scholarship in the requirements page. 

In order to apply for a Saltire Scholarship candidates must have a conditional or unconditional offer of a place at a Scottish university on an eligible course. See the full list of eligibility criteria. 

What is the deadline for the Saltire Scholarships?
