Tonight, Scotland shows the world what we’re made of. But our nation’s talent goes way beyond the football pitch.

From groundbreaking medical research to world-renowned traditional arts, young Scots are capable of leading the world—they just need the funding to get there.

If you’re proud of your Scottish roots tonight, help us keep that dream alive for the next generation. Whether you're raising a glass in Edinburgh, Boston, or Vancouver, chip in to fund a future visionary.

Thanks for backing Scotland with us! 📋👇

There is nothing quite like the pride of seeing Scotland compete globally. But did you know you can channel that incredible energy into helping young Scots smash their own goals?

While Steve Clarke's team handles business on the pitch, the Scottish International Education Trust (SIET) is helping young Scots chase their dreams in world-class universities, art studios, and scientific labs across the globe.

Every single donation—no matter where you are cheering from—combines to give an exceptional young person the break they deserve.

Celebrate our national pride by giving a young Scot their big shot on the world stage! 💙👇

All four bring deep professional experience in grant-making, fundraising, network building, development, and governance. While we will miss the advice and guidance of those trustees who are retiring, SIET's future looks to be in good hands!

SIET has added four new trustees to our board, and wished a fond farewell to three longstanding board members. At its meeting in early December, the Trust's board officially welcomed its new members, Kelly Finnan, David Mungall and former SIET award recipients, Alistair Sommerville and Jenny Thornto...

Evan Rush's story is typical of the extraordinary young people SIET is able to support but no less remarkable for that. Originally from a small town in the west of Scotland, he secured a place at the University of Glasgow to study law, using what he describes as 'a widening access route'. After successfully completing his degree, he applied for an LLM in International Law at New York University.
SIET was able to help him with the cost of the course and living in the Big Apple.

His description of the experience supported by SIET: "By far the most educational and formative year to date".
