University of Edinburgh - The Eric Liddell China Saltire Scholarships

What the scholarship gives you

You got about 5,750 EUR (£5,000) for one academic year, taken off your tuition fees, to study a full year at a university in China. Ten of these scholarships were offered each cycle. The University of Edinburgh set up the award in 2012 with the Scottish Government, who shared the cost. It marks the link between Scotland and China and honours Eric Liddell, the 1924 Olympic 400-metre champion who was born in China and studied in Edinburgh.

• Where you go: You had already secured a place on a full-year study-abroad programme at a Chinese university.
