George McElveen III Scholarship at University of St Andrews 2026

This scholarship was established through a generous gift by George McElveen III to support students from the USA – particularly from North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia – with an interest in golf.

The scholarship forms part of the Wardlaw Scholarship scheme, established in 2004 to provide financial assistance to academically gifted students who would otherwise struggle with the cost of studying at the University of St Andrews.
