Wingate Scholarships
Since 1988, the Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation has
provided annual Scholarships to individuals of great potential or proven
excellence. The Scholarships allow individuals in a wide variety of fields to
pursue projects in an academic or a non-academic context. In many cases a
Wingate Scholarship has allowed an outstanding individual the chance to realise
a project that might not otherwise have been supported by more conventional
funding bodies in the UK or Europe.
The Scholarship Committee welcomes
applications from more mature students and those from non-traditional academic
backgrounds. Wingate Scholarships
attempt to provide funding for cross-disciplinary projects that might not fall
comfortably into any of the conventional funding categories.
The Allan & Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust
The
Allan & Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust was set up in memory of
two generations of the Ferguson family to promote their particular
interests in education, international friendship and understanding,
and the promotion of world peace and development. Postgraduate PhD
students, whether from overseas or from the UK, may be awarded a
grant to help meet tuition costs, but only in respect of the last year of
their course.
Grant cheques will not be paid to the applicant but to the University at
which they are studying.
Research Fund
The Centre has a small fund to help our research students with
exceptional expenses related to their research. The total amount
available will be decided each year and will be available from the
beginning of the financial year (August). Guidelines will be
included in the handbook, but the principle will be:
- whether the expense is
exceptional (not fees or ordinary travel expenses, books, photocopying, etc.);
- whether it is essential or very advantageous to your research;
- whether it
adds to the research reputation of the Centre, especially its international
reputation;
- whether it enhances your research standing and career prospects.
We cannot promise to fund all requests, and you must set out your request in
writing, with enough detail to make clear how it meets the above criteria and
the Notes for Information on the
Application Form.
University Travel Grants
The University has a number of Travel Grants.
Funding for UK Postgraduate Students
