Regulations

  1. The Executive Committee is prepared to consider, triennially, applications for the Henry Dryerre Scholarship in medical or veterinary physiology, to be held at a Scottish Institution.  Awards are normally made for the support of full-time research extending over three years (see Regulation 5)
  2. Applicants for the Scholarship must be graduates of a Scottish University, or students who expect to graduate at a Scottish University within a short time of making their application.  A degree with First-Class Honours is a necessary pre-requisite for consideration; in Faculties which do not award Honours, e.g. Medicine, the equivalent standard will be expected.
  3. Applicants for the Scholarship must be nominated by a Professor, Reader or Lecturer in a Scottish University.
    Nominators must note that one Scholarship is awarded every three years and that the strictest standards of selection will be enforced.  In assessing applicants for nomination, nominators will be expected to have regard to the awards obtainable for postgraduate study or research from such bodies as the Research Councils.
    A Henry Dryerre Scholarship is not tenable with a Government-funded Research Studentship, Research Council award or comparable scholarship.
  4. The annual value of the Scholarship will be £14,800 for the academic year 2010-11.
    The Scholarship will include the cost of approved fees payable by the Scholar to his/her University and/or College.  There are no additional allowances for dependants, but a special allowance is made to help with the expenses incurred by the Scholar in connection with the study or research, subject to a certificate from their Supervisor.  Contributions will be made towards the cost of travel between place of residence and place of work.
    The Scholar may retain, in any one year, up to a maximum of £3,000 derived from bursaries, scholarships or prizes and may also retain fees from teaching or demonstrating up to a maximum of £3,500.  All income exceeding £6,500 from these sources, taken together, will be deducted in full.  Income from other sources will be ignored.
  5. The Scholarship will be tenable for one year in the first instance.  Subject to satisfactory progress by the Scholar, it will be renewed for a second year thereafter, for a third year.  The Scholar will be expected to devote his/her whole time to the purpose for which the Scholarship is awarded.  Applications for a period of less than three years will not be considered appropriate.
  6. Applicants are under an obligation to report without delay any awards received after the date of their application.
    The Scholar will be required to work under a supervisor, and half-yearly reports must be made by both Scholar and Supervisor.  Payment of the Scholarship will be made quarterly, in advance, and will normally start on 1st October in each year.
  7. Nomination Forms can be downloaded from the website or may be obtained from The Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, Andrew Carnegie House, Pittencrieff Street, Dunfermline, Fife, KY12 8AW, and must be returned not later than 15th March each year (electronic and hard copy).  The awards will be announced at the beginning of July. The Henry Dryerre Scholarship will be offered again in 2010 for the session 2010-11.
