Scholarship Question

Hey all,

I'm in the process of applying for a scholarship at St Andrews, but I'm stuck at the part where you fill in your parents' financial details. Do I need to include my dad's details even though I don't live with him? It would make more sense just to include my mum's, as that's what I'll be using for the main finance application (tuition fees, maintenance loans, etc.)

Any help would be very gratefully received, as the deadline is in a week!

Call them up and they will advise, The person you need to speak to is Alice Carradice (not sure if that is the correct spelling) It will all depend on how you are actually supported. They are friendly so just call or email, good luck.

I was wondering if anyone already got any news concerning the Scholarships? I believe they said the decitions would be made by the end of April.

I didn't hear about my scholarship until 14th July last year, so you may have to wait a while before they actually tell you. Best of luck :wink:

They put back the deadline for applying for them so I'm guessing that means that we will find out later as well.

The Scholarships Administrator emailed me back saying it was received and will be reviewed in the next few weeks, we should all know by mid-May :smile:

Dear Applicant
I write to say that the Selection Committee has considered your application for a financial needs-based scholarship. Unfortunately I have to inform you that your application has been unsuccessful.

Commiserations!
Btw does anybody know if they are only giving out scholarships based on your financial situation or do they also award scholarships for educational achievements?

You apply for two seperately. The one i got rejected for was a needs-based one, I havent bothered applying for academic ones because theres no chance of me winning one.

I was on holiday when i got the email about the scholarship and when i got back i just forgot all about it, is it too late to apply now or did it depend when you accepted St Andrew's as your first choice?

I still have the email but the link to the form doesn't work, i was taking that to mean that the deadline has passed but other people seem to have longer to do theirs?
