School of Divinity Postgraduate Masters Scholarships

We are offering a number of scholarships awards, ranging from full fees to half fees. These awards will be tenable for one academic year and will be automatically deducted from your tuition fee. Please note that you will still need to fund your living costs - https://study.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/fees-funding/living-costs

All scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of our postgraduate community, and will engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award.  We offer our postgraduates a range of training and development opportunities appropriate to their programme of study.

The scholarships will be awarded to new applicants who have applied for admission to a postgraduate taught Masters or Masters by Research degree programme of study at the School of Divinity commencing in September 2026. Please note that you do not need to already hold an offer in order to apply for this scholarship.

Students on PG programmes longer than one year may apply but must be aware that this funding is for one year only, therefore, students are advised to budget accordingly.
