Scholarships
Our scholarship programme is making a life-changing impact on people all across Scotland, supporting their education, maximising their attainment and connecting them with a range of inspirational role models from industry, further and higher education. View our available scholarships here.
Via the continued growth of our scholarship offers, our mission is to provide exceptional educational opportunities to dedicated students across Scotland. We understand that the path to academic success is challenging for the majority of students, and for some, who have faced additional adversity or disadvantage, there are even more barriers in the way. We aim to recognize and nurture talent, helping students to achieve their fullest potential - all made possible with the generosity and altruism of our Education Funding Partners.
What is a scholarship?
The Education Academy Scotland has redefined what a scholarship is, bringing a whole new meaning, purpose and journey to scholarships. Our increasing range of scholarship offers sets us apart. We break down the barriers to access that sadly exist for some scholarship programmes and we have completely removed the elitism that defines others.
By blending academic excellence with holistic support, study and career experience, we go beyond traditional financial aid; offering a tailored approach that addresses the diverse and specific needs of our students. Our programme not only provides funding but also incorporates mentorship, personalised learning and enrichment opportunities. By focusing on the whole student, we empower our Scholars to excel academically while developing critical life skills, fostering a love for learning and opening their eyes to the countless opportunities that exist for them.
At The Education Academy Scotland, we are not just investing in education; we are investing in a brighter, more inclusive future for every student.
