Carnegie Education Fund Undergraduate Tuition Fee Grants

The Carnegie Education Fund provides Undergraduate Tuition Fee Grants which are aimed at individuals from low-income households who are ineligible for tuition fee support from the Scottish Government.

The majority of the students The Carnegie Education Fund supports attended university or college in the past but withdrew before completing their studies. Often this was the result of ill health, financial problems, or personal circumstances. Sometimes they just felt that their chosen course of study was not the right one for them.

The Carnegie Trust also helps a number of students who are seeking asylum in the UK.

Applications open on 1 June 2026 and close on 1 December 2026
