Cratchley Scholarship in History

The Cratchley Scholarships in History are funded from a generous legacy gift in the will of the late Margaret Parsons (BA History 1941, Cert Ed 1942). Margaret, her sister Gladys, and her brother William studied at Bristol and wanted to provide financial support to undergraduate students at the University studying history in memory of their parents Edwin and Alice Cratchley. This scholarship is part of the Futures Scholarships program at the University of Bristol, designed for UK applicants towards their first year of undergraduate study and employability opportunities. Up to four awards are available annually. Successful candidates receive £2,000 for their first, second and third years, with an additional £1,000 available as Career Employability funding. Recipients are enrolled on the Futures Scholarships programme and receive support from the Futures Scholarship co-ordinator to access career guidance and advice on University opportunities for personal and professional development. Recipients are expected to attend periodic meetings with relevant University team members and participate in the program's professional development opportunities.
