UACES Scholarships

 

Since 2002, UACES has awarded 126 travel scholarships to postgraduate students from 31 different countries.

 

UACES Scholarships 2013

 

UACES are offering four Scholarships for a fixed amount of £1,500, to be awarded on a competitive basis to UACES members.


Please read ALL of the information below for important background information before applying.

 

The deadline for applications is strictly Friday 12 October 2012. We will acknowledge receipt of your application and you will be contacted in December as to the outcome of your application.


Purpose of the Scholarships

 

The scholarships are designed to provide mobility to existing postgraduate students so that they can undertake research in another country. The scholarships are NOT for students looking for funding to enrol in a postgraduate course.

 

Eligibility Criteria

  • You must be a UACES member (Student or Individual) - please note that membership of the EuroResearch email list or the UACES Student Forum does not constitute membership of UACES
  • Your research project must be in the 'Contemporary European Studies' subject area (we define 'Contemporary' as post-WW2, and 'European Studies', as typically, but not exclusively, an aspect of European Integration or related areas)
  • You must be a postgraduate student (typically a PhD student; possibly other postgraduate courses that have a very strong research component)
  • Scholarship funds must be used for field work that occurs between 1 February 2013 and 31 July 2013 (applications for trips outside of these dates will not be considered)

There is no restriction on nationality.

The Scholarships

 

The Scholarships are funded solely by UACES.

 

There are four Scholarships on offer for a fixed amount of £1,500 (one thousand five hundred pounds sterling).

 

The scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis. The decisions made by UACES will be final and we will not be able to provide feedback on individual applications. To be considered, your application must satisfy ALL of the eligibility criteria.

 

Payment of the scholarships will be in two parts; two thirds in January and the remainder on completion.

 

The UACES Scholarship money is ONLY available to pay for:

  • travel to and from your research destination
  • accommodation at your destination
  • food at your destination
  • local transport at your destination

All other ancillary costs are the responsibility of the Scholar.

 

In previous years many applications have failed because the budget included as part of the application has been poor. An example (of an entirely fictional) budget can be found here.

 

Successful applicants will be required to submit a final report and to provide evidence that their field work has taken place.
