Jesus College Postgraduate Research Fund

The Jesus College Postgraduate Research Fund supports postgraduate students at Jesus College, Cambridge, with awards of up to £650 per academic year. The fund is designed primarily to support conference attendance or short research-related trips that enhance students' research but are not essential components of their course requirements. Awards are distributed throughout the academic year following regular College Council meetings, with applications accepted on a rolling basis except during the Long Vacation. Applicants must be current postgraduate members of Jesus College, pursuing either Masters or PhD degrees on a full-time or part-time basis. The fund does not cover expenses related to activities essential to a course, such as required fieldwork, archival visits, courses, or workshops. Recipients are expected to submit all relevant expense receipts after their activity in order to claim their award. Approximately 50 awards are made each year, and applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis against the eligibility criteria.
