The Edinburgh Futures Institute Scholarships

All scholarships will be awarded based on academic merit, however the candidate's ability to demonstrate that their financial and socioeconomic circumstances significantly restrict their ability to continue their education without substantial financial support and their future and personal career goals, and the extent to which the scholarship will support the candidate to meet these goals will also be taken into consideration.

Three scholarships are available to cover full tuition fees for selected taught Master's programme offered by or affiliated with the Edinburgh Futures Institute: the George Lindsay Cooper Scholarship, the Madeleine Bentley Scholarship and the Bilan-Cooper Scholarship.

Each of these scholarships will support applicants who may face barriers in accessing postgraduate study.

Award

Each award covers the full UK tuition fee and is available for full-time and part-time study and for both on campus or online study. Awards will be paid directly towards tuition fees.

All scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of our postgraduate community, and will engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award.
