University of Aberdeen Merit Scholarship

This exciting scholarship opportunity is available to North American Students (normally domiciled in the US or Canada), pursing an undergraduate Masters of Arts (MA) degree or undergraduate LLB degree at the University of Aberdeen.

The University recognises academic excellence. The scholarship award is provided in the 4th year of study, and is based on continual academic achievement during a student’s first 3 years of study at the University.

The scholarship award includes
• Tuition fee discount in the final (fourth) year of study, based on the student’s academic achievements in the first three years of study at Aberdeen*
• One-time, 20% discount on the first years fee of any subsequent degree available to all Aberdeen graduates

*The scholarship award in the final (fourth) year is based on academic merit, and is calculated on the number of semesters the student achieves College Honour Roll status (achieving a CAS 16.0 or above per semester), during the first 3 years (6 semesters) of study at the University. The award level is calculated as follows:

• 4 of 6 semesters on Honour Roll = 25% fee waiver in final / fourth year
• 5 of 6 semesters on Honour Roll = 50% fee waiver in final / fourth year
• 6 of 6 semesters on Honour Roll = 75% fee waiver in final / fourth year
