The Herald: University’s £1m plan to educate world’s poor

Glasgow University will offer a package of scholarships to some of the world’s poorest students as it marks the city’s status as host to the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

It is planned to support 53 students, one from every member state of the Commonwealth, with the largest bursaries going to the 14 students from the least developed countries. These include Pakistan, Uganda and Malawi.
