Scotland University offers Merit-based Scholarship funds to students

University of Abertay, Dundee has launched a scholarship fund of £750,000 (US$ 1.2 million) and under this condition, hundreds of young sports stars, musicians and scholars across the globe are being offered the chance to study at one of the Scotland's university.

This overseas student scholarship fund is available to students who are living outside the EU and the European free trade area. It is also available to those who are liable to pay overseas tuition fees and whom Abertay believes would bring the special personal and academic qualities to the university.

This new scholarship fund will support individual scholarships which will be merit based and/or on the basis of personal achievement in either sports or music. These scholarships will be available to students enrolling for study at Abertay in September 2012.

31st January, 2012 has been set as the deadline for applications for the first round of awards. Two more rounds of applications will be carried out in April and July 2012. Students applying for either undergraduate or postgraduate studies will be eligible to apply for a scholarship.
