Karimjee Conservation Scholarships

The Karimjee Foundation offers two Karimjee Conservation Scholarships each year for Tanzanian nationals. The scholarship covers all fees and a living allowance (stipend) for studies while in Glasgow and for the additional year in Tanzania, including funds for an extended research project.

Tanzanian students who wish to be considered for this scholarship should apply to the programme through the University of Glasgow application portal (green ‘Apply Now’ button) and include in their personal statement a 1-2 page explanation as to why they think they should be awarded the scholarship. Please note: all applications will be processed by the University. If you meet the entry requirement for the University of Glasgow, you will receive standard email messages confirming receipt of your application and the outcome of your entry into the programme (e.g. conditional offer, unconditional offer etc). If you meet the requirements for the Karimjee Conservation Scholarship, we will review your application in early 2025 decide whether to invite you the interview of short-listed candidates.  

Please note that the closing date for consideration for the Scholarship is 3 January 2025 and short-listed candidates will be expected to attend an interview by Zoom in February 2025. Interviews will be conducted in English.

Candidates’ attention is drawn to the English requirements (see above) and may wish to acquire proof of language proficiency prior to interview. Candidates who are provisionally offered a scholarship without such proof of language proficiency will need to acquire it immediately following the interviews before acceptance on the programme can be confirmed.
