About Scholarship
The
Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships in the Humanities programme awards
funding to support doctoral studies at nine carefully selected
universities. The initiative reflects our concerns about funding for the
humanities and the potential impact of increased undergraduate student
debt on postgraduate studies. Our aim is thus not only to support some
of the most exciting students, but also to make a statement about the
value of the humanities. We believe that high quality academic research
in this field is of critical importance to British society. We hope that
this programme might help to attract further funding to the sector.
