The R&A International Scholarship
Can you imagine yourself spending the next year exploring alternative medical practices in the outer reaches of the Arctic, or working in a Sri Lankan elephant orphanage? Beyond your current degree, you might have dreamed of a career in food and would love to travel to discover traditional recipes in their home regions. You may have begun your studies with aspirations to join an African wildlife conservation programme. The R&A International Scholarships may offer you a chance to follow those dreams.
Established by a generous gift from The R&A in support of the University’s 600th Anniversary campaign, the Scholarships are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, designed to fund a year of international travel.
Applications for the 2024 R&A International Scholarships are now open to allow candidates to plan a year of adventure that can start any time from June 2024 onwards.
Two scholarships of up to £15,000 each are available in 2024 – so start your dreaming and planning now.
Applications for this award closed on Friday 19 January 2024, with interviews taking place on Monday 11 March 2024
Applications are made each year in the MySaint portal and the 2024 guidance notes can be found at the side of this page, for reference. These are updated annually. Please check back here in the autumn if you are interested in applying for 2025. Unfortunately, this scholarship is no longer available to students in the School of Medicine.
