The Education Academy Scholarship
The Education Academy Scotland Scholarship is for anyone.
Whether you are a school pupil, home-educated learner or adult; whoever you are, whatever your background, The Education Academy Scotland Scholarship supports our Scholars to educational success in a range of ways, from small interventions such as tutoring sessions, all the way through to gaining a full SQA National Qualification or Award.
It's been the most helpful type of support I've ever had with school, the classes are great, the teachers are super friendly and it's overall just an amazing environment. It's such a good scholarship!
Whilst the The Education Academy Scotland Scholarship does not target any particular demographic, we do look to support people who face barriers to their learning or who have faced other adversity. Scholarships aren't just awarded based on a particular characteristic, each application is judged on a case-by-case basis; we are however particularly keen to work with those from disadvantaged backgrounds, underserved communities, and underrepresented groups. However, the single most important quality we look for in our scholars is a positive attitude to learning.
We want to work with learners who have the determination and desire to succeed in their educational and personal development, people who we can be proud to have helped toward their next goal, whether that's in school, college, university, or employment.
