Scholarship Grants
Saint Andrew's Society of Washington, DC's
Washington Scots Charity & Education Fund Scholarship Program
The Saint Andrew’s Society of Washington, DC, annually grants awards
from its Washington Scots Charity & Education Fund Scholarships Program.
Awards are made to scholars enrolled in US or Scottish institutions for the
third or fourth year of College or University or full-time graduate study.
There are generally 6 to 20 awards granted totaling in excess of $20,000.
The size and total number of awards varies from year to year.
In honor of the 250th Anniversary of our St. Andrew’s Society’s
1760 founding, the Society has established The St. Andrew’s
Society Founders’ Prize. Made possible by generous donations
in the name of James & Mary Dawson and Donald
Malcolm MacArthur, this Scholarship is an annual award in the amount
of $7,500 made to an outstanding Scottish or Scottish-American scholar.
To be eligible, scholars must be of Scottish birth or descent. Applicants
who are British subjects must have been born in Scotland. Applicants who are
United States citizens must maintain their permanent residence in the Mid-Atlantic
Region (defined here as comprising the District of Columbia, the States of
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, West Virginia, and the Commonwealths
of Pennsylvania and Virginia).
All applicants must be able to cite their Scottish descent and must submit
a statement of their plans and goals. Other criteria applied by the Scholarship
Committee include an identifiable need for financial assistance, a meritorious
academic record, and an indication that the proposed course of study will
materially contribute to the applicant's intellectual development and economic
independence.
Special attention will be given to applicants whose work would demonstrably
contribute toward enhancing knowledge of Scottish history or culture. Finalists
for the named awards must be willing, upon request, to make themselves available
in person or by telephone for interview by the committee or its designated
representative.
Applications must be received no later than 30-April, 2007, and scholarship
awards will be announced by 30-June, 2007. The necessary application forms
