University of St Andrews 2025 School of Divinity MLitt Scholarship (Up to £5,000) Deadline 26 May, 2025

The School of Divinity is offering a scholarship to an MLitt student, with the aim of widening access to students from groups traditionally excluded or under-represented in academia. All MLitt courses in the School of Divinity are eligible.

Applicants must either be applying for a full-time MLitt course due to start in September 2025, or currently undertaking an online MLitt course continuing beyond September 2025.

In making decisions about the award of the scholarship, we will give consideration to a variety of criteria, including, but not limited to the following:

• We may give preference to applicants from Developing economies as defined by the United Nations ( Table C of this document).
• We may give preference to applicants who self-identify as members of excluded or under-represented minorities.
• We may give preference to applicants who are historically underrepresented in Divinity (students from ethnic minorities, students with disabilities, students who are the first in their family to attend university).
• We may give preference to applicants from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
• We may give preference to applicants with a household income of less than £34,000.

In the application you may want to say how your application relates to these criteria, and/or to give other arguments in support of your application.
