Robert Nicol Trust Fellowships and Scholarship UG
The Robert Nicol Trust is an educational charity which makes small financial awards to support students from or based in the Aberdeen region who are undertaking courses of one kind or another at the post-school level. Robert Nicol himself was a native of the City of Aberdeen who developed a textile business in Manchester in the second half of the nineteenth century. In his will, he directed that, on the death of his wife, the major part of his fortune should be entrusted to a group of trustees 'for the advancement and promotion of education in the City and County of Aberdeen'. The scholarship supports students pursuing undergraduate and post-school education, with applications reviewed at meetings held in May and early September. Students must submit a written statement of their proposed course of study or research, which will be carried on at approved institutions and under approved supervision. While the Trustees normally expect applicants to be registered with or intending to register with a recognized establishment in the North-east of Scotland, they recognize that circumstances may make it necessary for study to be conducted outside the region. Scholarships may be awarded for both full-time and part-time courses.
