To be eligible for this scholarship, you must satisfy both of the following conditions:

You hold an unconditional offer for full-time study on a postgraduate taught Master's programme at ECA from September 2025. See ''Criteria'', below, for more information about what this means.
You are an EU-based student, categorised by the University of Edinburgh as having ''EU-EAA Fee Status'', and hence you would normally pay the full International tuition fee. To be categorised as an EU-based student, you must satisfy all of the below:

Be an EU national or non-EU national with settled status in the EU.
Be ordinarily resident in an EU/EAA country at the point of application.

To obtain an unconditional offer of a place on an ECA postgraduate taught Master's programme you must meet the academic, English language, and any other published admissions requirements of the programme.
