Cheery Kate bowls over crowd with charming dedication

The university where Prince William and Kate Middleton met and studied has created a scholarship in their honour as a wedding gift.

It was presented to the couple when they visited the University of St Andrews yesterday, to launch its 600th Anniversary Campaign, of which William is patron.

The visit was their first official engagement in Scotland ahead of their wedding on April 29. The scholarship will meet the costs of tuition, if payable, accommodation and living expenses for a four-year undergraduate degree in science, arts, medicine or divinity. It will be awarded annually to a student who would have been unable to attend St Andrews without such financial support.
