 Masters programme
The primary aim of the scholarship programme is to raise the profile of Scotland as a place to live, work and study in key overseas markets - in line with the International Framework - and to showcase the best of Scottish higher education. This is a substantial programme of scholarships, offered on a matched funding basis between the Government and Scottish Higher Education Institutions. The scheme entails 200 awards of £2,000 per award allocated across key priority countries - Canada, China, India, and the United States of America. The scholarships are designed to support the promotion of Scotland as a learning nation and a science nation and are therefore targeted at the priority sectors of creative industries, life sciences, technology, financial services and renewable and clean energy. The Saltire scheme also aims to support institutions in their own strategic market development - the flexibility of selection criteria means that institutions can align the awards with their own strategic market development plans. |
The scheme is being administered by British Council Scotland and further information is available at http://www.scotlandscholarship.com/ Other schemesThe intention is that Scotland's Saltire Scholarships will become an over-arching umbrella covering all scholarships supported by the Scottish Government. It will also provide an opportunity for institutions to market their scholarships under this brand, thereby creating one unique identity for all Scottish scholarships. The Government currently funds a number of other scholarship schemes, including:  Scotland-China Higher Education Research Partnership for PhD studies
