UWS WEST Scholarship Programme

University of the West of Scotland, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The WEST (Widening Education and Supporting Talent) Scholarship Programme helps remove financial barriers that stop students progressing through their degree to graduation. It is a home-student award funded by donors and trusts, and is not open to international students on a student visa.

It can be used in any way that helps the student sustain and complete their studies. Priority is given to care-experienced students, those estranged from their families and those with caring responsibilities.
