general information


Thanks to the generosity of The Steven and Elena Heinz PhD Scholarship Programme we are pleased to announce a major gift that will provide full and part funding support to PhD students.


There are two types of awards under this programme; the three-year award and the single-year award.


eligibility

 

  • Applicants should hold either a conditional or unconditional offer on the MPhil/Research programme.

 

  • Applicants should not be nationals of the following countries: UK, Canada, USA, New Zealand and Australia (UK students should apply for AHRC funding; US students should apply for Courtauld Scholarships).

 

  • Applicants should not have not have been previously funded under either the AHRC Doctoral Scheme or Overseas Research Student Award Schemes (ORSAS).


three year award


For new PhD students starting in 2010/11 which will offer either:


  • Full-funding of tuition fees and a contribution towards living costs (renewable for three years).

 

  • Part-funding of full or part contribution towards tuition fees (renewable for three years).

single year award


For current Courtauld students who are having difficulties in completing their PhD due to financial pressures. It is likely that students falling into this category will only receive one such award but in exceptional circumstances a student may be offered two years of funding.


how to apply


The deadline to receive complete application forms is 15 May 2010.


Please download an application form for either a single year award or three year award.


Applicants should be aware that all supporting materials requested in the application form including academic references or supervisor reports are compulsory. Any supporting documents not received before the deadline will make your application ineligible.


Your application will be considered at the Scholarship Committee in June and you will be informed shortly after as to whether your application has been successful. Therefore, it is not necessary to supply a separate application form for Courtauld scholarships as your application will be considered at the same time with other scholarships.
