Graduate Conference and Research Project Funding

Graduates may apply once a year, at any time in the course of an academic year, for research/conference grants. There is no application form. College Advisers should be asked to email the Academic Administrator in support; and students should themselves provide the Academic Administrator with an account of the project, an estimate of the costs involved, and details of any funding already provided or in prospect. Wherever appropriate, application for funding should also be made to the relevant university department/faculty. College awards, usually between £50 and £250, will be made by the Senior Tutor. Funds are normally released once the student has submitted a report; but advance payment can be arranged on request.

Graduates may also apply for assistance towards costs involved in the production of a thesis; but cannot apply for project, research or travel grants after they have received leave to supplicate for their degree. Those on Taught Courses are not eligible to apply for funding towards the cost of attending conferences.

Academic Project Grants and Other Awards

This annual exercise takes place in Hilary Term, when forms are circulated by email or may be obtained from the Academic Administrator, for completion by Monday of Hilary Week 4.
