Thanks to the generosity of alumni of the College and other donors, the College is able to provide financial support for research and related activities, including travel and conference attendance. All postgraduate students are eligible to apply each year of their study.
The maximum support available for a full time student is £800 per year (there is a pro-rata rate for part-time students). Most awards are made at a lower rate, but more than one application per year may be made.
