Applications for Grant / Scholarship
The Clark Foundation for Legal Education (SC018520) is a charitable trust established
to promote and advance the legal, professional or business education or training of
(1) persons studying or teaching law at universities or other institutions of higher
education based in Scotland or anywhere else in the world; and (2) other persons
practising law or involved in the administration of law in Scotland or elsewhere in the
United Kingdom.
In furtherance of the above, the Foundation’s trustees invite applications for Grants
and Scholarships from post-graduate and under-graduate students to assist them
with courses of study in Scots law, or comparative legal systems, or the law of the
European Union, or foreign languages or business management. The trustees will
also consider applications from persons practising law in Scotland, whether as
solicitors or advocates, those teaching Scots law, those arranging conferences,
seminars and lectures, and those involved in research in, and the writing of legal text
books on, Scots law and/or its relationship with other legal systems or the institutions
of the European Union. Applications may also be made for Grants to provide
facilities and equipment (including computers and other IT equipment) for study and
research including for the establishment and maintenance of libraries and study
centres.
The grant and amount of any award, and the period for which it is to run, is within
the discretion of the trustees.
Awards will be made in September 2018 and all applications, which are to be
completed on a standard application form only available from January 2018 upon
