These three-year studentships are open to UK or EU graduate students who are registered for the Ph.D. degree (or NOTAF, CPGS) in any branch of study within the University. M.Phil. students are not eligible to apply. Applicants must have applied for a Research Council award if they are eligible. Students who are already in the first year of Ph.D. studies by October 2008 are not eligible to apply. The award makes provision for the University Composition and College Fees plus a maintenance stipend (subject to residency criteria).
Further information and application details will be available to download from the Financial Aid section of the Board of Graduate Studies website (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/funding/aid/).
