The Saltire Scholars Programme aims to find, fuel and spark the next generation of leaders for Scotland. We do this through offering 8, 10 and 12 week fully-funded internships for penultimate year Undergraduate students. We accept application from all degree backgrounds and due to the diversity of our host companies, we have something to offer everyone.
We work with well-recognised multinationals like GlaxoSmithKline and Barclays, entrepreneurial start-up companies and not-for-profit organisations. 70% of our internships take place outside of Scotland. Interns go on to join our alumni network post-internship to help continue their professional development even after their placement has finished.
We work with a wide array of companies who are from all sectors (public, private and third) and represent industries including: life sciences; publishing; fashion; financial and business services; manufacturing; oil and gas; not-for-profit; and egineering. Examples of internship projects have been: operations analyst; business investment; marketing and communications intern; training and development intern; project management intern; automation engineering intern; IT development intern; commercial retail insurance intern; global supply chain and logistics; gas turbine performance intern; drug discovery intern; lab technician intern
