Robbie Ewen Fellowship

Robbie Ewen Fellowship

The Robbie Ewen Fellowship was established in 1995 in memory of the late Robert Ewen (1939-1995) who, at the time of his death, was the Secretary of the University Court of the University of Glasgow. The purpose of the Fellowship reflects his firm commitment to staff development for administrators.

The income from the Fund is used to help administrators annually in Scottish higher education institutions to pay short visits, at home or abroad, to other Higher Education Institutions in order that they might benefit from seeing differences of approach and structure. The Secretaries of the Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow, together with the current Chairman of Universities Scotland Secretaries Group are ex officio Trustees of the Fellowship Fund and act, with such supplementation as they think necessary, as the Selection Committee for the Fellowship.

Applications are open to Administrative Staff with not less than 2 year's higher education experience, to help administrators in Scottish higher education institutions pay short visits to other HEI to benefit from seeing differences of approach or structure. Funding for the trip should be matched by the applicant's Home Institution, and the Robbie Ewen Fellowship may contribute 50% of the total cost of the trip. 

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday 29th May 2026
