Stanley Ray Scholarship

The Stanley Ray scholarships were established thanks to the generosity of the late Stanley Ray. These awards are open to all Home and International applicants who are studying a full- or part-time research programme. This includes current doctoral researchers in the College of Arts and Law. The funding will be available from September 2026. One scholarship is available offering £10,000 per annum for full-time students or £5,000 for part-time students. For Home students, this award would cover tuition fees and a small monthly maintenance. For International students, this would be awarded as a tuition fee discount. The scholarship is open to students studying a campus-based postgraduate research degree in one of the Schools in the College of Arts and Law including English, Drama and Creative Studies; History and Cultures; Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music; and Philosophy, Theology and Religion. Preference is given to applicants studying English Literature, French, Music or Shakespeare Studies.
