may apply, withdrawing if they fail to do so. Scholarships,
which can be held at any University in the United Kingdom, but
usually in Scotland, provide fees, maintenance and a research

Carnegie Research Grants and are sympathetically treated. Applicants,
who must be nominated by a member of academic staff, must submit
their applications, on a form which is available on line but
must be returned in hard copy, by 15th March to be considered
for an award for the following session.
