Funds for Women Graduates

The Funds for Women Graduates grants are for women who will be in their final year of doctoral studies and are awarded to help with living costs (not tuition fees). The criteria for awarding grants are the proven needs of the applicant and her academic calibre. Grants are available up to £6,500, and will be a contribution towards living expenses for one year's academic study or research. Women graduates from UK and overseas are eligible to apply. They must be studying in Great Britain and in their final fee-paying or writing-up year of PhD or DPhil. Any subject or field of study will be considered. There is no upper age limit. Students reading for a part-time PhD or DPhil will be eligible to apply from their third year onwards. Evidence of ability to pay fees is required. Grant holders must submit a written report at the end of the academic year for which the grant was awarded.
