Clyde Wind Farm Scholarship Fund Open
The Clyde Wind Farm Scholarship Fund is once again open for applications to support young people into university. The scholarship programme helps local students with their expenses while creating a pool of well-trained and experienced professionals, transforming career prospects in the Clyde area and positively impacting future generations.
Six scholarships of £5,000 each will be awarded to different students who are studying one or a combination of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees in the coming academic year. The funds are paid towards the scholar’s student loan, reducing the amount to repay after graduation. The application deadline is Thursday 13th September 2025.
To be eligible applicants need to live in South Lanarkshire, Scottish Borders, or Dumfries & Galloway, be taking a STEM course at a UK college or university in 2025/26 academic year and will be taking receipt of a loan from the Student Loans Company in the coming year of study.
In addition to the local scholarships, Clyde Wind Farm is also investing directly into education within renewables. Two scholarships of £11,900 each, along with operational industry expertise from the wind farm, are available to post-graduates studying for an MSc in courses relating to renewables at the University of Strathclyde.
