Scotland: ''Homecoming Scotland'' Scholarships at The University of Edinburgh

Overview

The University of Edinburgh offers overseas postgraduate students the opportunity to study in Edinburgh and gain skills that will help them be the leaders of tomorrow - prepared to solve global problems.

The "Homecoming Scotland" Scholarships were set up by the University of Edinburgh in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of our national poet and international cultural icon Robert Burns. The Homecoming Scotland Scholarships provides the best international students, who are paying the full overseas rate of tuition fee, with the opportunity to come and study for a Master's degree at the University of Edinburgh which has attracted some of the world's great achievers and most distinguished scholars through the years.

10 Master's scholarships for postgraduate study in any subject are offered by the University for the 2010-2011 academic session. Each scholarship will have a value of £5,000 which will be tenable for one academic year.
