Prof Dr T and Dr A Sokolowska Scholarship

A variable number of awards are made each year, depending on the finances available. Funding for Edinburgh based degrees are for ONE year only

For scholars undertaking 1 year 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 course/research programme. 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 applicants undertaking distance learning degree programmes the award will normally cover the tuition fees, subject to satisfactory progress, but no subsistence allowance is payable. 

Potential applicants wishing to undertake short study visits or non-degree programme related research should contact the Edinburgh coordinator at PSMscourse@ed.ac.uk at the earliest opportunity to discuss their ideas.

Scholarships will be awarded to new applicants who have applied for admission to a postgraduate taught Masters or Masters by Research degree programme of study at the University.

The programme is open to Polish medical scientists:

• in their early career (usually within 10 years of their medical graduation - MB ChB equivalent).
• working in Polish Medical Academies/Universities and Research Institutes.
• with excellent mastery of English and who are committed to the further development of medical research expertise in Poland. 

The expectations and intentions of the Prof Dr T and Dr A Sokolowska Scholarship is that successful applicants:

• should return to their units/ departments in Poland on completion of their attachment/studies,
• use their new-found skills to further enhance and develop Polish medicine and thus foster academic links between Polish Medical Universities and Research Institutes and The University of Edinburgh.
