How realistic are your chances?

This fund is very narrowly defined. It supports doctoral research in the field of homiletics and related theological disciplines within a specific department at a university, meaning that very few people meet the eligibility criteria and are able to apply for it. It appears to be an internal fund that supports PhD students on the basis of a recommendation, rather than a publicly advertised scholarship. If you are a doctoral student in the Department of Theology at Glasgow University conducting research in this field, please ask your supervisor or contact the department directly to find out whether you are eligible for funding from this fund.
