School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography: writing-up bursaries

The School wishes to offer a small number of writing-up bursaries in 2012 to those in the final stages of writing up their DPhil theses in order to enable them to submit in a timely manner. The maximum amount available in any one bursary will be £1500. A lesser amount may be offered.

In order to qualify for the bursary, the student must:

  • be based in SAME,
  • not have been a previous recipient of a writing-up bursary,
  • have been confirmed in the status of DPhil student
  • present a written case outlining their economic need, including budget justification and details of any scholarships or grants they have received while doing their DPhil,
  • include an up-to-date c.v.,
  • ask their supervisor or supervisors to write to Kate Atherton with an email of support, and
  • give a written undertaking to submit their DPhil within six months of receiving the bursary and a promise to return the bursary should they fail to do so, without good cause, within eight months.

Students wishing to apply for a bursary should write to Kate Atherton with supporting materials and budget submission by 11 June 2012.
