Application Criteria
We award grants to students for postgraduate study. To meet our criteria you must:
- Be under 30 years of age on the date your proposed course of study starts
- Be born in Scotland OR be born elsewhere and planning to study in Scotland
- Be able to demonstrate current financial challenge with little or no access to family support; we prioritise supporting students facing socioeconomic challenge
- Be applying for postgraduate study only
- Applications must be made using our online form (we use Google Forms), fully completed and providing the additional material requested.
Please note:
- We will support students born in Scotland to study in Scotland or outside of Scotland
- When we support international or students from the rest of the UK these never make up more than a third of our total student awards
A note for any care experienced applicants:
The McGlashan Trust actively prioritises supporting students from care experienced backgrounds. We already work in partnership with a number of Scottish institutions who help us identify eligible individuals in need of grants. Applicants from a care-experienced background who are considering applying to the Trust should therefore contact their institution in the first instance, rather than applying here, and ask them to reach out to us. Alternatively please contact our Administrator, Thea de Joode via email, to discuss any potential application: info@mcglashantrust.org
Application Process- To assess your application we need to understand whether you meet our criteria
- Please complete the application form below in full. The form must be completed in one go (it's not possible to save your progress and return to the form at a later session). We'd therefore recommend you have a look at all of the questions we ask below first, then gather any necessary information, then fill in the form once you're ready to apply.
- We understand not all applicants will be able to answer all our questions, and that is okay. If this is the case, please add a note or leave the question blank
- We will be in touch with all applicants after the deadline of 31 May. We aim to be in touch with the outcome by 1 July at the latest
Contact us at info@mcglashantrust.org if you experience any technical difficulties with this form.
