Stanley Burton Research Scholarship 2026

The Stanley Burton Scholarship was established in 2000 from funds bequeathed by Mr Stanley Burton, who had a long association with the University of Leeds. The purpose of these Scholarships is to assist Home-rated postgraduate researchers to undertake research study in the School of Music at the University of Leeds. The award provides full academic fees and a maintenance grant for full-time study (or pro-rata for part-time), supporting doctoral research in music. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit and provides funding for 3.5 years for full-time students. Recipients must live within a reasonable distance of the University of Leeds while holding the scholarship. Selection is made by the University of Leeds PGR Recruitment Group after initial shortlisting by the Admissions Team.
