2011 Magnusson Awards

APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED!

Applications for the 2011 Magnus Magnusson Awards are now closed. Winners will be announced in due course.

Awards of up to £5,000 will be presented to students in their second year upwards, or to researchers in the early stages of their academic careers. Applications from any discipline and from any part of the University or for almost any kind of proposal that will help individuals to reach their dreams are welcome. However, judges will be especially pleased to receive applications from areas relating to any of the late Magnus Magnusson’s personal interests, including the media, history, language, literature and the natural environment. Applicants must demonstrate achievement in their chosen area, and have a clear plan to take their work forward.

The Magnusson Awards will facilitate that next period of exploration, study, learning and personal growth for the Scholar. Each winner will be asked to provide a report and to present their proposal to a group including members of the Magnusson family. Glasgow Caledonian University has committed to fund an annual Magnus Magnusson Scholarship Award along with a number of generous donors who are supporting special awards. Any additional support to the Fund will help more young people to achieve their dreams.

Please note applications for essential elements of a degree course (e.g. payment of fees, or a vacation placement) are not eligible.

Glasgow Caledonian University celebrated its fourth Magnus Magnusson Awards at a ceremony in May 2011. View a copy of the brochure with details of this years winners. 2011 Magnusson Brochure
