University of Edinburgh Macqueen Scholarship for International Students 2024

Shedding light on the experiences of sole carers, The Macqueen Scholarship aims to support postgraduate social work research focusing on one-parent families.

By centring its research on the challenges faced by single caregivers in one-parent households, The Macqueen Scholarship offers a unique chance to delve deeper into the lives of these individuals. The insights gained from this research can pave the way for meaningful enhancements in the daily lives of single caregivers and their families.
