Under the regulations governing the Fund the Managers are empowered to:
| (i) | provide one or more scholarships, the holders of which shall devote themselves to the study of ecclesiastical history; |
| (ii) | provide grants in aid of research for the purpose of furthering the study of history and more especially of ecclesiastical history. |
The Managers give notice that they wish to invite applications for these awards.
A candidate must be, or be about to become, a Ph.D. Student pursuing in the University a course of study in ecclesiastical history.
Grants in aid of research in history, may be awarded to members of the University. Applications from Undergraduates and M.Phil students are not normally considered.
Each candidate for a Scholarship is required to submit a dissertation of not less than 7,000 words and not more than 15,000 words in length, on a subject in ecclesiastical history, chosen by him or herself and approved by the Managers. Application forms for Scholarships are available from the Secretary to the Managers of the Lightfoot Fund, Faculty of History, West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9EF. The subject of the proposed dissertation must be communicated to the Managers of the Lightfoot Fund on the application form (which should include an outline of their current, or proposed programme of doctoral research on a single page of A4) and must be returned by 19 January 2004 at the latest. Candidates should invite their referees to write in support of their applications by the same date.
In addition an applicant who is not already a Graduate Student in the University of Cambridge should write to the Secretary of the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ, requesting application forms for admission to the University as a Graduate Student. The dissertation must be submitted to the Secretary to the Managers by 27 April 2004.
All applications for grants should be made using an application form obtainable from the Secretary to the Managers of the Lightfoot Fund and must fully explain the purpose for which a grant is needed and include a statement of any other sources of assistance to which application has been made. An application from a student must include the names and addresses of two referees. Applications for grants should be sent to the Secretary to the Managers of the Lightfoot Fund at the Faculty of History, either by 19 January 2004 for consideration by the Managers in the Lent Term, or by 27 April 2004 for consideration in the Easter Term. Graduate Student applicants should ask their supervisors to send supporting letters to the Secretary by the same dates.
The value of a Scholarship will be determined by the Managers, after taking into consideration the amount of any other emolument received by the applicant. Scholarships are awarded for the purpose of assistance with maintenance and fees. The maximum value will be that of the subsistence element of a AHRB postgraduate maintenance award. A Scholarship will be tenable for one academical year in the first instance and may be renewed for a period of one year at a time, subject to a maximum of three years.
The value of grants awarded are at the discretion of the Managers but will normally be up to and not exceeding £2,000.
