The David Edge Studentship provides support for a full-time student in 2009-10 in either the MSc Science and Technology Policy and Management or the MSc Science and Technology Studies at the University of Edinburgh. The studentship is awarded by ISSTI in honour of the life and achievements of Dr David Edge (1932-2003).

The Innogen Masters Studentship provides support for a full-time student in 2009-10 taking the Life Sciences and Biotechnology specialist strand in the MSc Science and Technology Policy and Management or MSc Science and Technology Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

Both studentships cover the costs of the University UK/EU fees for the one-year full-time course – £4850 – plus £450 research expenses.
