Merchants House Travelling Scholarship

The Merchants House of Glasgow offers a bursary annually to an undergraduate student of the University of Glasgow who has completed the second or any subsequent year of study, or to a graduate immediately following graduation, to enable that student or graduate intending to take up a commercial or industrial career to spend some time in a foreign country of the applicant’s choice to enable him or her to obtain fluency in the language of that country.

The scholarship will be awarded to a successful applicant chosen by the University on merit, preference being given to applicants of Scottish parentage.

The scholarship is not intended to be used to fulfil a component of a student’s undergraduate course, as for example a medical elective, a SOCRATES or similar exchange or residence abroad in the case of language students.

Between £750 and £1000.
