Post-Graduate Research Bursaries
Through the generosity of a number of donors and of the membership in general, two research bursaries are available, commencing with the academic year 2008/09.
These are
• The Jonathan Vickers bursary, and
• The Ernest Cook Trust Postgraduate Research Bursary
Each bursary has identical terms. All are for three years, and are subject to the candidate's satisfactory performance and to the Society's financial resources at the time. A grant of £10,000 for each academic year will be made to each successful candidate, subject to AHRC funding not being available.
Applications are invited before 31 July for an award for the 2008/09 academic year.
Applicants should send a CV, a report (of not more than 500 words) outlining their research proposal, a statement of their financial position (including details of other grant applications made or pending) and proof of UK university registration, along with a covering letter (to include full contact details) and two academic references to the Honorary Secretary (see Contact Us for address). Applications must be received by 31 July for the next academic year. Full terms and conditions are available on request from the Education Officer.
The first Vickers’ Bursary was awarded to Matthew Walker, a student at York, who is researching the architectural career of Robert Hooke (1635 – 1703); Matthew will complete his studies during 2008.
