MERCHANTS HOUSE Travelling Scholarship 2016
£1,000 (maximum)
The Merchants House of Glasgow offers a bursary annually to an
undergraduate student of the University of Glasgow who has completed the
second or any subsequent year of study, or to a graduate immediately
following graduation, to enable that student or graduate intending to take up
a commercial or industrial career to spend some time in a foreign
country of the applicant’s choice to enable him or her to obtain fluency
in the language of that country.
The bursary will be a sum not less than £750 nor more than £1,000 at the
discretion of the Merchants House, and will be awarded to a successful
applicant chosen by the University on merit, preference being given to
applicants of Scottish parentage.
The scholarship is not intended to be used to fulfil a component of a student’s
undergraduate course, as for example a medical elective, a SOCRATES or
similar exchange or residence abroad in the case of language students.
Further details about the format in which applications should be submitted are
