The Robertson Trust Scholarship

About The Robertson Trust Scholarship

Applying to a university in Scotland? The Robertson Trust Scholarship could be for you! 

The Robertson Trust Scholarship has been designed to support prospective students who have the drive and potential to go to university, but not necessarily the money to do so. The Scholarship offers up to £4,250 per academic year to students in Scotland who join one of their four unique support packages, as well as non-financial support (including wellbeing, career development, and leadership opportunities) and community and social events to support with the transition to university. 

Please see The Robertson Trust website at the link below for full details of the support packages available, applicant eligibility criteria, and the nomination process and timeline.

How to apply?

The 2026 Scholarship is now open for nominations.  

The deadline for schools to nominate eligible pupils for the Young Student Support Package is 23rd March 2026.  

You must be nominated by your school. Please speak to your LEAPS Link Teacher if you think this Scholarship opportunity applies to you and ask them to complete the Nomination Form in the first instance.

(Please note that places are limited and that not all who are nominated will be successful.)
