At the postgraduate level, a prestige scheme of Scholarships supports a limited number of graduates with first class honours degrees who will pursue three years of postgraduate research leading to a PhD.
Members of staff of Scottish universities are eligible to apply for the Research Grant Scheme which awards grants of up to £2,200 for personal research and offers support towards illustration and publication costs.
A competitive Larger Grant Scheme (grants up to £40,000) encourages applications for joint programmes of collaborative research projects from groups within several of the Scottish universities.
