Guidance and Forms

Eligibility

• Applicants from overseas who are temporarily resident in Scotland or elsewhere in the United Kingdom OR applicants from Scotland who are temporarily resident in another European country at the time of applying will not be considered eligible.
• The Fellowships will not be awarded to persons who are currently studying for a degree (e.g. PhD) either in the United Kingdom or overseas.
• Grants of up to £6000 are available for visits of up to six months at a rate of £1000 per month to contribute towards the cost of travel, subsistence and relevant study costs.  
• Visits may be between two and six months and, in appropriate cases, planned breaks of study may be permitted and in exceptional circumstances the ensuing travel costs may be funded. 

Visits to Europe

Applications are invited from scholars working in Scotland, who should be continuing members of academic or academic-related staff at a Scottish HEI, and whose research would benefit from a short period (2-6 months) spent in a European country outwith the UK.

Visits to Scotland

Applications are also invited from scholars in European countries outwith the UK, who would benefit from a similar period spent in Scotland. Scholars from Europe wishing to study in Scotland must be nominated by members of academic staff from HEIs in Scotland. The Nominator must submit the completed form and will be responsible for the organisation of the visit and the disbursement of any grants provided under this scheme.  Applicants from Europe should normally be employed in a recognised centre of higher education or research.  In addition it is the responsibility of the Nominator to ensure that the Fellow submits his/her report of the visit within 2 months of the end of the Fellowship
