Wolfson Humanities Scholarship

With generous funding from the Wolfson Foundation, the Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships fund doctoral research in three areas: History, Literature and Languages. The Wolfson Foundation awards funding to outstanding students who demonstrate the potential to make an impact on their chosen field. There are three scholarships available for 2026/27, generally expected to represent each of the three areas. Each scholarship offers £37,250 per student per year (£111,750 over three years) and covers tuition fees at the home rate and maintenance, research, travel and training costs. The scheme is open to all nationalities and to both full and part-time students, and it is the Foundation's hope that the scholars will become significant contributors to the culture of society, whether in the academic sphere or in other areas of intellectual and cultural leadership.
