Polish School of Medicine Memorial Fund Scholarships
Call for Applications – 2017/2018
Closing date: 15^th May 2017

Introduction
The Polish School of Medicine Memorial Fund supports a thriving scholarship programme which enables successful applicants to undertake a period of further study or research at The University of Edinburgh Medical School and related institutions.

The Scholarship
For scholars undertaking research or postgraduate degree courses in Edinburgh, the award normally consists of a subsistence allowance payable for periods of 1-12 months, depending on the length of their study/ research. It does not cover research costs or travel to and from Poland. Assistance with tuition fees is likely to be available for a limited number of successful applicants. In the case of successful applicants undertaking distance learning degree programmes the award will normally cover the  tuition fees, subject to satisfactory progress, but no subsistence allowance is payable. Applications from those wishing to undertake short study visits or non-degree programme related research should contact one of the coordinators below at the earliest opportunity to discuss their application.

Eligibility
The programme is open to Polish medical scientists

• in their early career (usually within 10 years of their medical graduation – MB ChB equivalent)
• working in Polish Medical Academies/Universities and Research Institutes
• with excellent mastery of English and
• committed to the further development of medical research expertise in Poland.

Applicants must agree to provide the Polish School of Medicine Memorial Fund Committee with a scholarship report within 1 month of completing their programme of study/ research.

The expectation and intention of the founders of the Polish School of Medicine Memorial Fund Scholarship Programme is that successful applicants should return to their units/ departments in Poland on completion of their attachment/studies, use their new found skills to further enhance and develop Polish medicine and thus foster academic links between Polish Medical Universities and Research Institutes and The University of Edinburgh.
