Clark (Mile-End) Bursary Fund

The Clark (Mile-End) Bursary Fund is a charitable endowment established in 1868 by Victorian philanthropist John Clark, a thread manufacturer and prominent citizen from Paisley. The fund is now governed by Rules laid down in a 1974 Scheme, as varied with the consent of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator in 2013. This bursary provides financial support to eligible postgraduate students who have obtained an honours degree and are pursuing subsequent degree or postgraduate courses. To be eligible, applicants must either have already obtained an honours degree from the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde and now be studying for or applying to study for a subsequent degree/postgraduate course at Glasgow, Strathclyde, or another university in the UK or abroad; or have already obtained an honours degree from another university in the UK or abroad and now be studying for or applying to study for a subsequent degree/postgraduate course at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Applicants must demonstrate not just academic excellence in their undergraduate studies but also detail their involvement in wider extra-curricular activities. Interviews of candidates selected for consideration are held in Glasgow at a Governors' meeting during November.
