The University of Edinburgh Glenmore Postgraduate Scholarship

The University of Edinburgh’s Glenmore Postgraduate Scholarship provides full tuition fees for the duration of the programme of study. For programmes that list ‘Additional Programme Costs’ on the degree finder, the scholarship will also cover those costs. The page also states that funding for an academic year has yet to be confirmed and applicants should check the webpage for updated information.

The scholarships are aimed at applicants who are accepted for admission in the academic year stated on the scholarship page to one of the listed eligible Human Medical programmes, including multiple online learning options and specific on-campus options. The scholarship specifically welcomes applications from students from Africa. Priority is given to applicants with an unconditional offer at the scholarship application deadline, and preference is also given to those who have not had the opportunity to study at Masters level previously.

Selection is based on academic merit and the strength of a personal statement that addresses specific questions set by the scholarship. The page states that, on completion of studies, successful applicants are envisioned to continue to work in countries that will benefit most from their further medical education, with priority for applicants who have not previously studied at Masters level.
