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.
