Carnegie Trust offers Carnegie-Caledonian PhD scholarships to
pursue three years of postgraduate research leading to a PhD at a
university in Scotland. A First-Class Honours undergraduate degree from a
Scottish university is a pre-requisite for consideration for
Scholarships. Final year students of a Scottish university who expect to
achieve a First-Class Honours degree are eligible for nomination but
will be disqualified from the competition if they do not achieve a
First-Class. The Non-UK/EU domiciled students with a First-Class Honours
undergraduate degree from a Scottish university are also eligible for
these PhD scholarships. The application deadline is 15th March 2014.
About Scholarship: The prestigious Carnegie PhD Scholarship scheme supports a limited number of graduates, with first class Honours undergraduate degrees from a Scottish university, who wish to pursue three years of postgraduate research leading to a PhD at a university in Scotland. There is no restriction on the subject or field. To be considered, candidates must be nominated by an academic member of staff of a Scottish university at the level of Professor, Reader or (Senior) Lecturer. The Trust also administers the Caledonian PhD Scholarships on behalf of the RSEScotland Foundation (RSESF). Two awards are made each year under the Caledonian Scholarship banner. The Scholarships are awarded and held under identical conditions as the Carnegie Scholarships and are under the charge and control of the Trustees of the RSESF, who retain the power to alter the rules and to change the purpose and destination of the Scholarships. The Henry Dryerre scholarship which supports students wishing to undertake a PhD in medical or veterinary physiology is offered every three years. The scheme is administered in the same way as the Carnegie/Caledonian scholarships. It will next be offered in 2016.
