Duration of award

Awards are typically paid annually for the duration of the student's undergraduate programme. There are exceptions, so please refer to the specific criteria for named Wardlaw scholarships listed above for full terms.

At what stage of my course application can I apply for this scholarship?

You can apply for the scholarship after you have submitted your application for a place at St Andrews. Allow at least two working days for processing and issue of your log in details before applying for the scholarship. You do not need to wait until you have received an offer of a place before applying for the scholarship.

Additional criteria

Please note that as the Wardlaw scholarships are donor funded, core personal details may be passed to the benefactors of your scholarship with your permission. This permission is requested within the application form. If you select that you do not wish to be considered for donor funding, you will only be considered for the St Andrews Access Award or the St Andrews International Undergraduate Scholarship (as appropriate)

As part of the St Andrews Access Award application, you will be asked to upload the following document:

Household Income: Evidence of the income stated in your scholarship application as total.

Please refer to the Financial Funding Tool for advice on how to calculate your household income and the types of supporting evidence we require you to upload.

If you are care experienced and unable to provide household evidence, please upload a document that states this. You do not need to upload evidence of your care experience, if this has already been provided to Admissions.

If you are an asylum seeker and are unable to provide household evidence, please upload evidence confirming your official Home Office Status.

You must apply to us for funding, giving complete and accurate information before the deadline; late applications will not be considered.

If you apply to the Wardlaw Scholarships, details from your UCAS application may be passed to the selection panel for the purpose of selection.

Please read the University of St Andrews scholarships terms and conditions.

Core personal details may be passed to the benefactors of your scholarship. Your name, the name of your town of origin, school/college and subject of study will be passed to the donor of the scholarship with your consent. These details may also be used in university publications and in promoting fundraising for other university scholarships. Further details will only be released with your express permission.

Your scholarship award in subsequent years of study is conditional upon your successful completion of the academic requirements to progress in your proposed subject of study at the University of St Andrews.
