The McDonald Fellowship application period is currently open. In this article, we’ll go into great detail regarding this scholarship program, its advantages, and how to apply.

For international students, McDonald Fellowships 2022–2023 are fully financed awards. Both master’s and PhD degrees are eligible for these awards. The fellowship includes a two-year stipend for about £30,000 GBP per year to cover living and travel expenses, as well as an additional £2,000 GBP per year payment to the host university.

Early-career researchers studying multiple sclerosis from low- and middle-income nations can work abroad in a research facility thanks to the McDonald Fellowship. We anticipate that recipients will be able to continue their MS research and/or patient treatment in low- and middle-income nations after receiving the award by utilising their newly acquired knowledge and networks.
