Richards Fund

The Richards Fund provides studentships or grants to assist with fieldwork for postgraduate students registered for a course of field research in the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. The Department interprets this to be for PhD students embarking on field research in their second year of study. Funding awarded is at the discretion of the Trustees. Expenditure from the Fund shall be incurred at the discretion of the Managers to award Studentships or grants to Postgraduate Students registered for a course of research in the Department of Social Anthropology as candidates, or with a view to becoming candidates, for the PhD. The award is a one-off grant ranging from £500 to £2,500 to support fieldwork expenses.
