Question
To ask the Scottish Government how students are chosen to fill the 290 places available on the Saltire Scholarship scheme for EU students.
Answer
This funding has been allocated to institutions through the Scottish Funding Council for the 2021-22 academic year. Scholarships will be considered by universities for citizens or permanent residents of an EU or EEA country, and have a conditional or unconditional offer of a place at a Scottish university or college, on an eligible course.
All institutions must have a fair and robust assessment selection and award process in place. They will consider students for full time courses, in any subject area at the following levels:
- University - Masters/Taught Postgraduate (TPG) level.
- College - Higher National (HN) level, i.e. Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND).
Full eligibility criteria can be viewed on the SFC website.
