International Merit Scholarship

Heriot-Watt University welcomes students from all over the world. This year, we are providing support by awarding over £500,000 in merit scholarships to international fee-paying students enrolling in January & September 2025.

In most instances, scholarships awarded to international fee-paying students will be paid as a partial fee abatement for the first year of study only, unless stated otherwise on your offer letter.
