Scholarships
Currently, four scholarships are awarded annually for undergraduate study in the
School of Informatics: 2 to first-year students, and a further 2 to third-year
students. 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.

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.
