What can make it affordable

We're listing Edinburgh mainly to flag how narrow its 'Global'-branded scholarship actually is: the Global Talent Fund BIG Scholarship only goes to undergraduate Maths applicants who already hold a medal from a specific list of elite competitions (the International Mathematical Olympiad, International Olympiad in Informatics, International Physics Olympiad, Romanian Master of Mathematics, or European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad).

If you do qualify, it covers tuition, a living stipend, and extras, open to any nationality including India, with a separate application. But this is not a general scholarship most applicants could realistically win. Edinburgh's other named international award, the GREAT Scholarship, explicitly excludes India — it's restricted to Thailand, Mexico, and Ghana. Its 'Multi-Regional Awards' page otherwise just links out to Chevening, Commonwealth, and similar government programmes already elsewhere in this database, not Edinburgh-specific ones.

International tuition varies by programme — check ed.ac.uk for the current rate for your specific course.

Don't expect a general merit or need-based scholarship here — realistically, this page only helps you if you're a Math Olympiad medalist.
