Africa LLM/MSc Tercentenary Scholarship for Africans at Edinburgh ...

Africa LLM/MSc Tercentenary Scholarship

The Africa LLM/MSc Tercentenary Scholarship is open to all African students applying to an LLM or the MSc in Criminology and Criminal evenhandedness at Edinburgh Law School.

One scholarship will be available each academic year
The award is open to all correctly qualified African applicants; but, the  scholarship is particularly meant at applicants who are citizens of (and normally resident in) Eastern and Central Africa, including Zambia, Ethiopia, Malawi, DR Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Somalia.  If no suitable application is received from these countries, the scholarship will pass to the next most suitable applicant. The award will be made solely on academic merit.

The scholarship will cover the costs of postgraduate tuition fees for one academic year. The successful applicant will also be agreed a partial maintenance grant (£6500) to help fund their studies at the University of Edinburgh. The maintenance grant will not cover the full costs of studying at the university and applicants should ensure they have sufficient financial support to complete their studies.

More detailed information can be obtained by emailing pg.law@ed.ac.uk.
The closing date for the receipt of applications  will be 31 May . Applicants must complete the school's scholarship application form to indicate that they wish to be considered for this award.Word Document

Applications for postgraduate programmes must be made in parallel through the normal University application route.

Postgraduate Scholarships: Application Form for  entry
The School of Law is fortunate enough to be able to, each year, make a number of awards for postgraduate study, both at LLM, MSc and PhD level. These awards are listed at http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/pg/scholarships.aspx, and this page is updated over the course of the year as and when new awards become available.

Applications for any of these awards should be made by completing this form and emailing it to pg.law@ed.ac.uk by the closing date specified at the above website address. It is a condition of eligibility that any applicant for an award has also submitted a complete application for admission to the relevant postgraduate programme in the School by that same closing date.

In considering applications, the School will have regard in the first instance to this form but may also consider any information, including references, submitted as part of the application for admission. But, to help the Choice Panel, the form must be completed in full, even where this duplicates information submitted as part of your application. You may copy and paste material from your application as apt.

Applicants should ensure, where on earth possible, that their referees submit their references by the closing date for any scholarship for which they are applying.

Please note that applications for Principal's Career Development Scholarships, where available, should not be submitted on this form, as these applications are dealt with centrally within the university. Further details are available at the web address above.

The remainder of this form should be completed in no less than 11-point type. You may delete this explanatory text (i.e. this paragraph and the previous five) and reduce or expand the size of any individual box below as you see fit, but the submitted form should not exceed two pages in length. Candidates applying for a research degree (i.e. PhD; LLM by research; LLM in Legal Research; LLM in History and Way of life of Law) should append a copy of their research proposal to the end of this document before submitting it. That proposal does not count towards the page limit.
