Scholarships

We offer a number of scholarships, some starting in the 1st year of study, others in the 3rd year. In addition to Scholarships, the School of Informatics and the University of Edinburgh offer other opportunities for outstanding students.

The Scholarship Award

A scholar will receive around £1,000 per annum (some companies offer more, some slightly less), and will be offered a paid work placement over the summer between the 3rd and 4th years of study. If you do not qualify for a scholarship from the 1st year there is a further opportunity to obtain a scholarship from your 3rd year of study, based on your 2nd year results.

When you graduate the awarding company may offer you a job. You are not obliged to accept it.

The Sponsors

How do I apply?

The first step in applying for one of these scholarships is to apply to study in the School of Informatics at Edinburgh through the UCAS system. If your examination results at the end of your first semester are good you will be automatically selected and invited to apply for a scholarship.

We will forward your CV and exam results to the sponsoring company and you will be invited to an interview. Following the interview, the company will write to you to let you know whether your application has been successful.
