City of Dundee Educational Trust - City of Dundee Educational Trust

City of Dundee Educational Trust bursary

You will receive a one-off grant of up to about 580 EUR (£500) for one academic year to help cover your study costs. The grant is provided by the City of Dundee Educational Trust and is aimed at students with a strong, long-standing connection to Dundee in Scotland. You are eligible to receive one grant per year. Priority is given to students who do not receive a compulsory state study grant; the grant therefore fills a funding gap for those who lack other sources of support.

Who can apply

• Link to Dundee: You are from Dundee and have been living in the city for at least five years. Moving there solely to start your studies does not count.
• Where you study: You can study at any university or further education college anywhere in the UK or abroad.
• Field of study: Open to all disciplines.
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are welcome. What matters is your connection to Dundee, not your passport.
• Study stage: You are either starting a degree course for the first time or an advanced degree course. Repeating a stage of study that you have already completed does not count towards this.
• Financial need: Priority will be given to students who do not receive a state-funded study grant.

How to apply

Applications must be submitted online via the Foundation’s application form. The Foundation’s Board meets four times a year – in September, December, March and June – and sets an application deadline for each round. For the meeting on 2 September 2026, the application deadline is 12 August 2026 at 12 noon. You will receive a response within 48 hours of the meeting.
