School of Life Sciences, and awarded on the recommendation of the Regius Professor of Botany and with the approval of the Head of
the School of Life Science to undergraduate or postgraduate students of outstanding merit to assist them in gaining appropriate
specialised experience either in Glasgow or elsewhere in the field of experimental Plant Biology. Such training and experience may take
the form of visits to other laboratories in universities or research institutes. Assistance may also be given to enable students to attend
important international conferences, but only when no other source of funds is available.
If both Orthopaedics and Botany (Plant Biology) cease to be taught at Glasgow University, then the whole of the capital fund and any
accumulated interest shall be transferred to the Royal Society of Edinburgh to be used as the Council of the Society shall determine
bearing in mind the wishes of the donors stated in paragraphs 2 and 4 above.
In 2012, the bursary will be awarded for an MBChB Year 3 viva, and from 2013 for an MBChB Year 5 viva, judged by the Professor of
Orthopaedics or nominee.
