THYNE SCHOLARSHIP
The Thyne Scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship that ESU Scotland can award, and enables young Scots to travel to a country or countries of their choice to study and research their own particular vocation. In delivering a fresh insight into how professions in other countries tackle their problems, the hope has always been that this knowledge benefits not only the individual scholar, but also Scotland.

Extract from the Deed of Trust establishing the Scholarship:
