The Kinnessburn Scholarship

Other eligibility requirements

To be eligible to apply for the Kinnessburn scholarship, you must:

Be currently enrolled on a foundation programme at the University of St Andrews. This includes all International Foundation Programmes (IFP), the International Year One Business, Social Sciences and Humanities programmes, the International Year One Science Programme, and the Medical Sciences Pre-Med and Extended Pre-Med programmes. Extended Pre-Med students can only apply in their final year of the programme.

Be able to provide evidence that you meet the required academic criteria:

An overall grade of 16 or higher for programmes at Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) level 6. This applies International Year Zero Business and Social Sciences and Humanities programmes starting in September and January.

An overall grade of 15 or higher for programmes at SCQF level 7. This applies to International Year One Science and Medicine Sciences Pre-Med programmes starting in September, and Medical Sciences Extended Pre-Med programmes starting in September and January. Extended Pre-Med students can only apply in the final year of the programme.

The two successful scholarship recipients may be from the same foundation programme. We will choose the two strongest applicants overall, based on their videos rather than their grades.

Be moving onto an undergraduate degree programme at the University of St Andrews in the next academic cycle.

Be willing to be an Ambassador for IE and the foundation programmes whilst in receipt of Kinnessburn funding.

Being eligible does not mean an automatic entitlement to a scholarship. The scholarship committee will make a final selection based on your video submission.
