We are currently recruiting new Trustees to oversee the continuing operation and development of the Trust. To help us advance our strategy and vision, we are looking for Trustees with an interest in Higher Education and Research and with a range of relevant expertise and experience. We also seek individuals with leadership experience who are representative of the diversity of the wider community and potential beneficiaries of the Trust.
The Carnegie Trust is piloting a new grant scheme: Carnegie Research Workshops. This aims to support the advancement of new research ideas addressing topics at the forefront of current scientific, technological, environmental, intellectual, cultural or societal developments.
On the 5th September 2018 we welcomed 66 Carnegie Undergraduate Vacation Scholars to our first Carnegie Vacation Scholarships Event held at The Mansion House, Edinburgh Zoo.
Following the March 2018 deadline and a thorough peer review process, the Trust is pleased to be able to support a total of 59 new projects led by Early Career Researchers in the Scottish universities. The successful projects, covering a wide range of academic disciplines, received funding totalling £495,627 with an average grant value of £8,400.
In recent weeks, the Trust has received two generous legacies from former students who were funded by the Trust during their studies. The donations will enable the Trust to continue providing living costs bursaries to the recipients of the Carnegie Undergraduate Tuition Fee Grants.
