Eligibility

Is this for you?

Applicants must be undergraduates of an eligible Scottish Higher Education institution (and enrolled for the entirety of their degree at that institution). The Scheme is open to students of any nationality and all applicants must have the right to live and work in the UK at the time of applying. Students with Limited Leave to Remain, Pre-settled or Settled Status, or students on a Tier 4 Visa, must be able to prove that they are eligible to work full-time in the UK in the period between May and August 2021.

  Either
a. in the third year of a four-year course, OR
b. in the third or fourth year of a five-year degree OR
c. in the 2nd year of a three year degree (e.g. BA Nursing, BA Acting, BA Production and Design etc.)
d. Part-time students must be at an equivalent stage of studies as above.

This is for you if you are on track to achieve a 2:1 or higher in your final degree classification and would like to devote some part of the long vacation to a research project. The project usually takes place at any time between May and August.  The scholarships are tenable for a minimum length of 2 weeks and a maximum length of 12 weeks (although typically 6-8 weeks). 

When assessing applications, the Trust will look at the:

• Academic standing of the student;
• Quality of the project;
• Feasibility of the project.
