PIRIE-REID SCHOLARSHIPS

Applications are invited for up to two Pirie-Reid Scholarships, tenable at the University of Oxford, from graduates (including persons expecting to graduate in 2002) who intend in October 2002 to commence working for a degree or diploma.

Preference will be given to candidates applying from other universities, i.e. not already matriculated at Oxford, and to those who have lived in or been educated in Scotland. Candidates not fulfilling these criteria are unlikely to be successful.

The scholarships, which are to be awarded to persons wishing to begin a course of study in Oxford who would otherwise be prevented by lack of funds, will cover University and College fees and will provide a grant for maintenance, subject to assessment of other sources of income (maintenance grants for 2001-02 are £7,000 for postgraduate students). They will be renewable from year to year, subject to satisfactory progress and continuance of approved full-time study.

Application forms for the Pirie-Reid Scholarships may be obtained from Mrs J. Brown, LES Divisional Office, 2 South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3UB (tel. 01865 282464, e-mail judith.brown@admin.ox.ac.uk).

Candidates for the Pirie-Reid Scholarships are expected to have applied for admission to the University through the Graduate Admissions Office, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD. Application forms and supporting information may be obtained by using the online request form at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/gsp/form2002.htm/. The closing date for applications is 1 May 2002.
