Summer Studentship Scheme

The RMS has opened applications for this year’s Summer Studentships scheme which offers six studentships of up to £2000, split evenly between physical sciences, biological sciences and interdisciplinary projects.

Applications must include a significant microscopy component and should be submitted by a suitable host academic on behalf of the student. The Studentship is offered on the understanding that a 500-word project report is completed by the student at the end of the period of study and submitted to the RMS.

Awards will be made to students at the end of their second year of study for a three year degree or at the end of their second or third years for four year degree courses. Master’s students are not eligible. £1500 should be allocated by the supervisor to the student as a bursary to cover living expenses and up to £500 can be used to cover experimental and laboratory expenses.

The person making the application must be a Member or Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society.

The deadline for applications is 31 March 2021.
