Former Edinburgh Academy pupil R L Stevenson

USA students in Europe

Have you considered completing your high school education in Europe? With international understanding more valuable now than ever before, the value of studying abroad cannot be underestimated. American students need to understand European attitudes, and Europeans need to understand Americans. At the Edinburgh Academy we are so convinced of the need to promote such cultural exchanges that we have introduced a program of reduced fees for senior year students from the USA.

One of The Edinburgh Academy's celebrated former pupils, Robert Louis Stevenson had strong connections with America. The scholarships for US students have therefore been named in his honor. Edinburgh's leading private school, The Edinburgh Academy, established its Robert Louis Stevenson Scholarships to celebrate the famous author's centenary. This program makes available the benefits of a European year to US students between high school and college.The scholarships are available to boys or girls.

Scholarship Terms for USA students

Scholarship holders would have access to all the facilities of the wonderful city of Edinburgh, and study alongside students of various nationalities. It would be possible to sit school leaving examinations for English or Scottish qualifications if you wish.

Fees calculated at £1=$1!

At present exchange rates the effective discount of this scholarship is around 50%. Follow this link to see a table of current fees.
