The Thyne Scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship that ESU
Scotland awards, and it 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. Each year a different theme is selected and
scholars have the opportunity to explore and
develop a better understanding of their chosen field or profession, and to suggest practical ways in which lessons
learned could be applied to that sector in Scotland.
The outcome of the Scholarship is often
an article to be published in a relevant professional journal and possibly the national press.
Scholars may also be required to give a presentation on their findings to the English-Speaking Union Scotland,
and possibly to a relevant professional body.
