Scholrship in Scotland: SICSA PhD Studentship 2011

The Scottish Graduate Academy offers prize studentships to excellent candidates from across the world. There is no residence qualification and candidates from any country may apply.
We are now accepting applications for the Prize Studentship. The deadline for this round is 2nd May 2011.
To make an application for a SICSA Prize Studentship, you must:
- Apply online via the SICSA Scholarships 2011 Applications System before the stated deadline, and;
- Apply directly to your first-choice institution as soon as possible.
Once you have applied
Selection of candidates is by a competitive process where we look at the student’s academic achievements, referees reports, research proposal, publications and experience. The research proposal is particularly important as this helps us judge how well a candidate has thought about their research, how well the research fits with the SICSA scholarships 2011 themes and the potential cross-site supervisory arrangements.
Your studentship application will be considered by the universities that you have listed in your application. They will decide, on the basis of the information in your application, if they wish to nominate you for a SICSA studentship. If they do so, your application will be considered by the Graduate Academy Board.
Your first choice university may decide not to nominate your application for a studentship. In this case, your details will be passed to any other universities that you have included in your application and they may decide to support your application. Applications from students who are not nominated by one of the SICSA partners will not be considered for a prize studentship
