Fitzwilliam College Shipley Studentship

The Shipley Studentship is funded by the Shipley Fund established in 1985 by a bequest from Mrs E M C Shipley in memory of her husband Joseph William Shipley (1892-1981) who read Theology at Fitzwilliam House between 1912-1914. This one-off award of £1,460 is available to continuing students and confirmed members about to start their courses at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge. The studentship is primarily intended for PhD students undertaking or about to start their research at the Faculty of Divinity. Exceptionally, research on a theological topic in another faculty may also be accepted. The award can be used for maintenance, conference attendance, research costs, and travel expenses. Awards are granted on the basis of academic merit and are for one year only, though successful candidates may re-apply in subsequent years if still eligible. Recipients should be aware that their award may be publicized in College publications in print and digital media, including their name, subject, and year of matriculation.
