About This Opportunity

The Perry Foundation is a registered UK charity with the objectives of promoting education and research connected with agriculture or food production for the benefit of the public. Perry Foundation Awards are a maximum of £12,000 for each year of the duration of the PhD project and normally for three or four years. Awards will only be offered when the university, college or research establishment has provided assurances that the necessary balance of funding to complete the full duration of the project will be made available. The awards are open to students undertaking PhD research in an agriculture-related discipline at Cranfield University. The awards are normally open to graduates holding a first or upper second class honours degree in an appropriate subject. Candidates sitting final examinations during the summer of the year for which the application is made will be considered but awards will be subject to a satisfactory examination result.
