Talent Scholarships are aimed at supporting excellent students who could otherwise face financial difficulties studying at University.

They help to ensure that Glasgow continues to attract students of ability and potential from a broad socio-economic base throughout the UK. We are proud to be the UK research-led University which attracts the greatest number of students from areas of little or no tradition of participation in higher education.

You can name a full Talent Scholarship with a gift of £1,000 per annum for 3-5 years.

Full scholarships for research students are particularly prized, helping to give opportunity at Glasgow to the very best and brightest students.  Without scholarship support, many talented individuals would be unable to realise their potential. 

By supporting a young researcher with a scholarship you will be supporting the development of a discipline or activity you care about with a gift which has the potential to have great impact that will resonate into the future.
