Applicants
- Must have been resident in the UK for at least five years at the time of application and must hold an undergraduate degree from a UK institution. Undergraduates may not apply for these awards.
- Should be under age 30 or, if older, make a strong and appropriate case for special consideration.
- Should be able to demonstrate how their work would benefit from being conducted overseas rather than in the UK. Those wishing only to improve their foreign language skills are not eligible for this scheme.
Value
The Studentships comprise: a basic annual maintenance allowance of £17,000; a partner allowance of £6000 if a Student is accompanied by a dependent partner; a return air fare; and a baggage allowance. Further allowances are payable at the Trust's discretion, e.g. assistance with overseas tuition fees and essential research costs.
Please ensure that applications do not include any of the ineligible costs listed

Studentships are tenable for between 12 and 24 months. The current round of awards must commence between 1 June 2010 and 1 May 2011.
