Foundation Grants for Women 2011, UK

/ January 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

FfWG offers Foundation Grants to help women graduates with their living expenses (not fees) while registered for study or research at an approved institution of higher education in Great Britain . The criteria are the proven needs of the applicant and their academic calibre.  For the academic year 2011 – 2012 grants will only be given for a postgraduate doctoral award e.g. PhD or D.Phil . They are not likely to exceed £6,000.  All our grants are offered on a needs basis and therefore not all grants will be for £6,000.  Those who have received a Foundation Main Grant in the past are not eligible to apply.

Grant holders must submit a written report on their year’s work within six weeks of the end of their academic year.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 4 April 2011
