To be eligible, scholars must be of Scottish birth or descent. Applicants who are British subjects must have been born in Scotland. Applicants who are United States citizens must maintain their permanent residence in the Mid-Atlantic Region (defined here as comprising the District of Columbia, the States of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, West Virginia, and the Commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia).

All applicants must be able to cite their Scottish descent and must submit a statement of their plans and goals. Other criteria applied by the Scholarship Committee include an identifiable need for financial assistance, a meritorious academic record, and an indication that the proposed course of study will materially contribute to the applicant's intellectual development and economic independence.

Special attention will be given to applicants whose work would demonstrably contribute toward enhancing knowledge of Scottish history or culture.
