Fitzwilliam College Gibson Studentship

The Gibson Studentship is awarded each year to a student working towards a doctorate in New Testament Studies. It is funded from gifts made between 1889 and 1896 by Dr Margaret D Gibson, the Oriental and New Testament scholar and widow of Mr J Y Gibson (1826-86), who was a translator of Spanish. Applications are open to continuing students and confirmed members about to start their course. The award is intended for 'top up' funding towards conference travel or other research costs. It cannot be used towards the financial undertaking required for admission to the course. The studentship provides one-off support of £1,165 for doctoral students at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge, conducting research in New Testament Studies at the Faculty of Divinity. Awards are for one year only, but successful candidates may re-apply next year if still eligible.
