Helping US students expand their horizons

The Directors of the University of the Highlands and Islands Scotland Foundation are keen to help US citizens expand their horizons – where better to study history, archaeology, Gaelic, music and culture as well as engineering, sciences and the environment, than UHI.

We have set up a scholarship fund to encourage and support US citizens and are initially offering two scholarships of $2,000 each for US citizens intending to undertake undergraduate study for at least one academic session (two consecutive semesters) at UHI in Scotland.

The scholarships shall be awarded as a one-off payment on confirmation of enrollment by the student at UHI.  Any one student may receive only one such scholarship.

Award of a scholarship shall be based on a combination (equally weighted) of academic merit and on a statement (of no more than 500 words) submitted by the student providing his/her reasons for wishing to study at the University of the Highlands and Islands.  To find out more about the applications process, please contact development@uhi.ac.uk.

Directors shall not be obliged to award all or any of the scholarships available in any year if no suitable candidate(s) is/are identified.

Please support this exciting initiative and provide for future generations.
