For entrant undergraduate students the St Andrews Access Scholarship Scheme groups a variety of different scholarships available each year with values ranging from £500 to £4,400 per year. Most are awarded for the duration of a student's course.
You can apply once to be considered for the following funding opportunities:

The St Andrews Access Scholarship Scheme was established in 2021 to provide financial assistance to academically gifted students who would otherwise struggle with the cost of studying at the University of St Andrews.
Depending on your household income you could be eligible for a non-repayable guaranteed scholarship for the duration of your Undergraduate course.
