Introduction

The Personal Scholarship Plan (PSP) is intended as an aid to assist you in structuring the development of your scholarship; a reflective tool to facilitate discussion with your PSP mentor regarding aims for the year ahead; and to inform planning for scholarship support at the school and university level.

Unlike appraisal documents, the PSP may be shared with relevant professional services staff, your PSP mentor, Head of Department and Head of School.

Any confidential comments should be made on the separate appraisal form, which is confidential to the Appraiser, the Appraisee, the Head of School and HR.

Guidance

The PSP form should be completed in draft prior to your PSP meeting, and shared with the designated person. As part of the meeting, you will be expected to review and discuss your scholarship profile, progress against your previous PSP and your plans as documented in the current PSP. The PSP should then be revised following the meeting, taking relevant feedback into account.

The finalised PSP should be submitted for review by the designated person within the School. The Head of School shall identify the School’s approach to review of PSPs within their School.
