Scholarships

Our vision

No St Andrews student – undergraduate or postgraduate – should be held back from realising their potential. Yet each year, some of the most talented prospective students face barriers to higher education: barriers that can be overcome with financial support.

From the gift that established the University’s first four bursaries in 1450 to the support that enabled Nobel Prize-winning pharmacologist Sir James Black to begin his studies, scholarships have shaped generations of students.

By supporting a scholarship, you help create vital waves of inclusion and opportunity, enabling bright minds from all walks of life to study – and to thrive – at St Andrews.

Why I give

‘St Andrews – in so many ways – made me who I am today. It has contributed so much to my life and given me so much opportunity. I am delighted to be able to support scholarships at the University as our way to give back, and I would encourage others to get involved. It really is very rewarding.’ – Marcus Booth (MA 2000)
