Scott Bursary
The Scott Bursary was established in 1893, thanks to a £1,000 bequest by George Scott (d.1893). Scott had intended to create a scholarship, but his executors agreed that the funds be used instead for a bursary. It was to be awarded to students in the Faculty of Arts, with initial preference to students from one of three specified parishes in Scott’s native Perthshire, but otherwise through an open competition.
The Scott funds are now part of the merged Lapsed Bursaries fund.
