Summer School Scholarships
SUISS
Scholarships
SUISS gives a number of
scholarships to applicants of the Text and
Context modules, which offer some help with the course fee, but not with
the the accommodation fee. To apply for a scholarship you have to include with
your application a letter explaining why you wish to be considered. One of your
referees has to support your scholarship application. Awards are made on the
basis of genuine financial need, academic merit and the contribution which the
candidate seems likely to make to the general life of the School. Please
mention which scholarship you are applying for on the relevant part on page 4
of the application form.
British Council
Scotland Commonwealth Scholarships
An
addition to SUISS in 2014, the British Council Scotland Commonwealth
Scholarships are supported by the generosity of British Council Scotland to
celebrate the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Scotland. They are intended to enable
gifted literature and creative writing students from Commonwealth countries to
attend the school.
Saltire
Scholarship for Scottish Literature
SUISS is hoping to be
able to offer three Saltire scholarships again in 2014. These scholarships are
for scholars from abroad, who either run courses in Scottish Literature, or who
have permission from their departments to set up such a course, or doctoral
candidates in the late stages of a PhD on an aspect of Scottish Literature. The
scholarship covers the course and accommodation fee for the Scottish Literature
course, as well as an additional study week for research.
