Scholarships

Travel bursaries for PhD Researcher Members of UACES doing essential fieldwork

UACES PhD Fieldwork Scholarships

£1,500.00 to Fund the Research That Matters

✓ Research materials and supplies 
✓ Archive access fees

What Past Recipients Say

Zala Pochat, 2025 Recipient, King’s College London: "Without UACES support, conducting the fieldwork for my thesis would have been challenging. As a self-funded student, the scholarship not only funded my trip but also enabled my research. UACES provided valuable support in developing my core arguments, based on findings from archival research and interviews conducted in Slovenia. I am now presenting my findings at conferences, including the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies’ and the British International Studies Association’s annual conferences. None of that happens without those crucial weeks in Slovenia."

Yuetong Guo, 2025 Recipient, King’s College London: "Without the UACES Scholarship, I could not have completed the fieldwork in Brussels and my visiting to UC Louvain that became the backbone of my thesis. It enabled me to collect original interview data that I could not have obtained from secondary sources. The funding enabled over around 20 in-depth elite interviews with officials from European Commission and Member States, producing original evidence for my EU ETS case studies. The scholarship didn’t just cover a trip—it unlocked access, timing, legitimacy and credibility at a crucial stage of my PhD. Building on these findings, I have been selected to present at brilliant conferences this year such as UACES Annual Conference Liverpool 2025, and I’m finalising two data-rich chapters. This support materially changed the trajectory and quality of my research."

Frequently Asked Questions

If you cannot find an answer to your scholarships-related question here, feel free to contact us.

Can I apply if I'm in my first year of PhD?

Yes, if you're planning fieldwork in 2026. However, applications are stronger when you can demonstrate clear preparation and feasibility. 

I'm not sure my fieldwork will cost the full £1,500.00. Should I apply?

Yes. Budget realistically for genuine needs. If your fieldwork costs less than £1,500.00, you'll receive only what you actually spend (up to the £1,500.00 maximum). 

My fieldwork might extend beyond 2026. Is that a problem?

No. The scholarship covers fieldwork conducted primarily in 2026, but we understand research timelines can shift. Just explain your timeline clearly in the application. 

Can my supervisor email the support letter separately?

Yes. They can email it directly to [email protected] referencing your application. Submit your application by the deadline; letters can arrive shortly after. 

Do I need to be presenting at a conference or event?

No. This scholarship specifically funds fieldwork for your PhD research, not conference attendance. (We have separate travel funding for conferences.) 

What if I don't have all my expenses receipts?

We understand that some fieldwork expenses (especially in certain locations) don't generate formal receipts. Provide what documentation you can and explain any gaps. 

Can I use the scholarship for online/remote research?

No. This scholarship specifically supports in-person fieldwork. Your application should demonstrate why physical presence is necessary for your research. 

I'm from a non-traditional discipline. Should I apply for the reserved scholarship or regular ones?

Apply through the regular application process. Our review committee will consider you for both the reserved scholarship and the general scholarships. 

What makes a strong application?

Strong applications: 

  • Clearly explain why in-person fieldwork is essential  

  • Demonstrate careful planning and preparation 

  • Provide realistic, itemized budgets  

  • Connect fieldwork to specific research questions 

  • Show how findings will advance European Studies  

  • Are concise and well-organized  

Can I apply if I've received other UACES funding before?

Yes, if you haven't received this specific scholarship before and don't have other funding for this particular fieldwork project. 

What do I need to do after receiving the scholarship?

After fieldwork completion: 

  1. Write a blog post (1000-1500 words) about your fieldwork experience or findings  

  2. Submit receipts showing your fieldwork expenses 

  3. Maintain UACES membership throughout 

Then we process your final £500.00 payment.
