IRCHSS Government Post-Graduate Scholarships in the Humanties and Social Sciences

IRCHSS schemes support research in the historical, analytical, theoretical and empirical study of subjects which normally fall within the humanities and social sciences, including law and business studies. While applications may relate only to those subject areas listed, there are a broad range of sub or inter-disciplinary areas which normally fall within the humanities and social sciences and are therefore eligible for consideration under this programme.
Women’s Studies is one such example of a multi-disciplinary field which, through rigorous scholarship and analysis, draws on traditional humanities and social science to offer a new perspective.
When will the results of this scheme be conveyed to applicants?
The assessment of this scheme will not be concluded before August 2011, at which point applicants will be informed by letter of the outcome. The secretariat will not discuss the results of the scheme over the telephone.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 21st February 2011
