We are offering competitive tuition fee scholarships for US‑based students, who apply for arts graduate programs that start in September 2027. This scholarship covers one year of tuition for our full-time taught Masters degrees in our arts school. The winning scholar will receive full tuition fees at 100% and we will also award several partial tuition fee scholarships.
What does the scholarship include?
With this scholarship you could get your entire fees funded for starting your creative career in Scotland. Scholarship awards range from partial fee reductions to full tuition coverage, depending on the strength of your application.
Who can apply?
This scholarship is for students selected for full-time arts graduate programs in specific subjects. Applicants must be a US resident and applying for one of our full‑time graduate programs in the arts, which are named ‘postgraduate taught degrees' at ENU (this scholarship excludes MRes research programs). Applicants who are in receipt of another scholarship or otherwise discounted tuition fees are not eligible for this award.
