The ORS awards scheme is designed to attract high quality research
students to UK Universities. The awards are open to overseas students
undertaking a research degree and may be held in any field of study.
Each award covers the difference between the tuition fee for a UK/EU
graduate student and that chargeable to an overseas graduate student.
The awards do not cover maintenance expenses. Subject to satisfactory
progress, the awards are tenable for up to three years. The University
of Stirling is now seeking applications for the 2006-2007 academic
session.
Applicants must be liable to pay tuition fees at the rate applicable to
overseas students and must have been offered admission to a full-time
MPhil/PhD research programme of study or currently be pursuing such a
programme. They must be of outstanding academic merit and research
potential. Other factors such as financial status, nationality and the
proposed field of study are not taken into account.
The process for applying for ORS awards has been delegated to each
institution, and consequently the timetable has changed, and is outlined
below. Guidance for applicants is attached. Application forms are now
available from the Research Office (Cottrell 3B1) - or contact
