Shell Centenary Scholarships

The University of Edinburgh
Academic Year 2008/2009
In October 1997 The “Shell” Transport and Trading Company plc celebrated its centenary. In order to mark this in a lasting and meaningful way the Royal Dutch Shell Group of Companies established The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund (TSCSF). This, through its contributions towards the cost of scholarships, supports educational advancement and co-operation worldwide by providing opportunities for graduate students from overseas to study in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands.
In TSCSF’s scholarship programme, applicants compete for scholarships offered at selected universities. The total number of scholarships supported has increased over the years as additional universities have been brought into the programme.


At the University of Edinburgh four scholarships are now jointly funded by TSCSF, the University of Edinburgh and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and two scholarships are funded by TSCSF and the University of Edinburgh.
Across the programme it is the intention that the scholarships be widely geographically distributed. In each year a large number of countries will be represented. Scholarships will be awarded to those academically qualified applicants thought best able to contribute to the sustainable development of their home country by becoming leaders, decision makers or opinion-formers. Preference will be given to those who have not yet had the opportunity to study outside of their home country and to those who have had some relevant and significant postgraduate work experience.
Candidates for these scholarships should normally be:
• aged 35 or under
• nationals of and resident in any country other than Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States and intending to return and take up permanent residence there after completion of the proposed programme of study
• intending to study a subject that will be of significant value in aiding the sustainable development of their home country
• of outstanding academic ability e.g. have obtained a degree equivalent to a first class honours degree at a British University
• fluent in spoken and written English
• neither a current nor former employee of the Royal Dutch Shell Group of Companies
Each scholarship covers tuition, accommodation, maintenance costs and a return airfare for the scholarship holder only.
The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund is a UK registered charity. Charity no 1071178
