Royal Society of Chemistry Scholarship
Maximising attainment through inclusion and diversity
Saturday School is privileged to have the contined support of The Royal Society of Chemistry and after a highly successful first year of the RSC Scholarship, we are excited to launch year two. Through the RSC Inclusion and Diversity Fund, we have created 12 fully funded Chemistry scholarships for National 5 and Higher students for the academic year 22/23.
Saturday School shares the view of The Royal Society of Chemistry that "chemistry should be for everyone“ and our scholarships will be awarded to applicants who allow us to meet the aims of the RSC Inclusion and Diversity Strategy.
​
Applications are welcome from any N5 or Higher Chemistry students, particularly those from disadvantaged, underserved and/or underrepresented groups; with the aim to attract more young chemists from different backgrounds to study and work in the science, ensuring they are able to fulfil their potential and progress through their career, based on their skills and capability, without being hindered by any demographic, background or other barriers.
Scholars will receive a fully funded educational programme at Saturday School which includes:
​
-
​Attendance at all of our 80-minute, face to face Weekly Lessons in N5/H Chemistry at The Glasgow Academy (January to March 2023)
-
Attendance at both 4-hour Grade Booster Days in N5/H chemistry at The Glasgow Academy (April/May 2023)
