Students get boost from scholarships

The next generation of students at the University of Edinburgh Business School are set to benefit from £74,000 of new scholarships.

Three director's scholarships worth 10,000 each and five leadership scholarships worth 4000 each will be available from September.

The scholarships are available to students applying for a full-time MBA or MBA in International Business. Both programmes are available to applicants from any country.

In addition, the Derek and Maureen Moss Scholarships will sponsor three students taking the MSc in Carbon Finance. These scholarships are worth 8000 each.

The MSc in Carbon Finance is the world's first master's degree dedicated to climate change investment and the carbon market.

Derek Moss, a former senior manager at IBM, is a long-term supporter of the University of Edinburgh.

He said: "I am a passionate believer in the need to tackle global warming; in addition I appreciate the value of research on climate change being vigorously pursued by the University of Edinburgh."
