The Thomas and Margaret Roddan Trust

The Thomas and Margaret Roddan Trust offers bursaries to students experiencing financial hardship.

Bursaries will, in general, range from £500 to £3,000.

Eligibility

Bursaries may be awarded to undergraduates who have completed at least one year of study, postgraduates undertaking taught courses or postgraduates engaged in research for a higher degree.

The Trustees will not fund Applications to cover expenditure which should have been planned at the outset of the course such as required periods abroad or required field courses.  

Applicants must be studying at the University of Edinburgh at the time of their financial hardship application.

Application Process

This trust is not one that is open for applications. Candidates will be selected from students that are facing financial hardship and have submitted an application to the University's financial support fund. The selection will be made at the end of the 2025/26 academic year.

If you are currently facing financial hardship, please see the University's financial support fund.

If it is deemed that you have been selected for the Thomas and Margaret Roddan Trust, the University will be in touch.
