The McDonald Fellowship application period is currently open. We shall go into great detail regarding this scholarship programme, its advantages, and the step-by-step application procedure in this article.
International students can apply for fully financed scholarships through the McDonald Fellowships 2024–2025. These fellowships are offered for doctoral and master’s degrees. The fellowship comprises a two-year award (about £30,000 GBP annually) to cover living and travel expenses, plus an extra £2,000 GBP annually to the host university.
Early-career multiple sclerosis researchers from low- and middle-income nations can work at a research institution outside their home nation thanks to the McDonald Fellowship. We anticipate that recipients of the prize will be able to continue their MS research and/or patient treatment in low- and middle-income nations by utilising their newly acquired networks and experience.
