European Scholarship
The European Scholarship Trust was set up Mr Ralph Smith, a former doctoral student of the Institute, to encourage discussion and dissemination of ideas concerning the on-going inter-relationship of economic development, education and the maintenance and development of cultural diversity within the periphery of Europe. The award is tenable at the Institute of Education for one year of full-time or part-time study and comprises a stipend of £4,000 which can be used towards the payment of tuition fees or other expenses subject to agreement of the Institute.
The scholarship competition is open to currently registered research students (including EdD students at the thesis stage) or new research applicants who will be registering in 2011-2012 at the Institute to undertake research which will further the understanding of the relationship between education, cultural diversity and economic development within the periphery of Europe.
Applicants for this scholarship will be required to submit a research proposal of 2,000 words plus a supporting statement of 1,000 words indicating how their studies will assist them in their professional/career development. Candidates must also have been accepted to study at the Institute for a research degree. The closing date for submission of an application has now been extended until 1 August 2011.
