Charles Wallace Burma Trust Bursaries for Postgraduate Students in UK, 2011

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

Open to Burmese nationals to pursue postgraduate study in the UK at Masters or Doctoral level, and who need additional funding to help them cover the cost of their studies. The Trust helps Burmese nationals pursue postgraduate study and professional development in the UK. The Board of Trustees has the authority to use the income from the Trust’s funds for Burmese who are resident in Burma/Myanmar to enable them to ‘follow courses of study, research or other educational pursuits which will advance the education of the said individual’.

Postgraduate Student Bursaries are offered twice a year, in May and November, and awards are granted to individual students undertaking, or about to undertake, postgraduate courses in the UK at Masters or Doctoral level and who need additional funding to help them cover the cost of their studies.
The Trust is not primarily a hardship fund and all applicants are required to demonstrate academic excellence as well as financial need. Our maximum grant is £1,500, so applicants must have funds from other sources to cover most of their expenses.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 01-Nov-2012

Postgraduate Studentship in Agriculture and Rural Development 2011/12 at a University in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland

/ February 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

Each year the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland (DARD) offers a limited number of Postgraduate Studentships for a three year period of research normally leading to a PhD qualification at a
University in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.  Funding is provided for full-time students only. Part-time study will not be supported. The DARD Postgraduate Agricultural and Food Studentships competition is aimed at students wishing to undertake Doctoral programmes by research.

Numbers are determined by Departmental priorities and budget availability.  Support is available to provide approved fees and maintenance grants to students being trained in methods of research.  Proposals must be aligned to our priority research themes. For the 2011 Competition applicants should also demonstrate how their project meets one of our evidence and innovation gaps and priorities.  No more than two research studentships will normally be provided in any one project area.  PhD Research Studentships may be held in Higher Education Institutes in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.

Awards are not tenable abroad but, exceptionally, consideration may be given to a student spending part of his/her research training or course of study overseas, if the subject is one which can best be studied abroad. Preferably the request for such training should be included in the application for an award.  The award is not means tested.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 25 February 2011
