<p>The university where Prince William and Kate Middleton met and studied has created a scholarship in their honour as a wedding gift.</p>
<p>It will be presented to the couple on Friday when they visit the University of St Andrews to launch its 600th Anniversary Campaign, of which William is patron.</p>
<p>The visit will be the couple&#8217;s first official engagement in Scotland ahead of their wedding on April 29.</p>
<p>The scholarship will have a value of up to £70,000 and will meet the costs of tuition, if payable, accommodation and living expenses for a four-year undergraduate degree in science, arts, medicine or divinity.</p>
<p>It will be open to applicants of all nationalities and will be awarded annually to a student who would have been unable to attend St Andrews without such financial support.</p>
<p>Professor Louise Richardson, the university&#8217;s principal and vice-chancellor, said: &#8220;This will be the first scholarship of its kind at St Andrews and a reflection of this university&#8217;s commitment to ensure that we find, attract and support the most gifted students from anywhere in the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;It will guarantee that a high quality Scottish higher education can be available to any citizen of the world, that a lack of means need not be a barrier to study, and that bright students who might otherwise have been unable to go to university can fulfil their potential.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were very pleased to make the offer of this scholarship as a wedding gift to Prince William and Miss Middleton and absolutely delighted that they have graciously accepted.&#8221;</p>
<p>About 600 staff and students will greet William and his fiancee in the historic St Salvator&#8217;s Quadrangle, where the prince will unveil a plaque to mark the launch of the 600th Anniversary. The three-year celebrations run until 2013 and include a £100 million fundraising campaign.</p>
<p>A name has not yet been chosen for the scholarship.</p>
