The Strathmartine Trust offers a range of grants and awards. These are: the Strathmartine Grants, the Sandeman Grants, and the biennial Marinell Ash Award.
The Strathmartine Trust regrets to announce that it will not be offering its annual grant award competition in 2021, due both to the disruptive effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to ongoing changes in the administrative and financial management of the Trust. The Trust remains fully committed to pursuing its aim of promoting and facilitating research in Scottish History, and will resume its usual grant-awarding activity in 2022.
The Strathmartine Grants
The Strathmartine Grants are awarded with the primary object of supporting research and education in Scottish History. The Trustees seek applications for grants of up to £5,000 to assist with the completion of existing projects and to aid publication.
Sandeman Grants
The Trustees seek applications for modest grants from the Sandeman Fund which is available to assist research in the field of early medieval Scottish History, either on documentary sources which relate to the history of Scotland before 1100 AD, or in cognate fields of historical research such as place names and art and archaeology of the peoples of early Scotland (including Scots, Britons, Picts and Vikings).
Marinell Ash Award
Applications are invited for a single award of £500 (or the US or Canadian Dollar equivalent) from The Marinell Ash Fund which is available to offer travel and study grants to a person studying any aspect of Scottish or North American History either as a post graduate student at any University or College whether in Scotland or elsewhere, or as an independent scholar. Please note that this grant is awarded biennially and the next submission deadline will be in November 2022.
