Further details
The Carr and Stahl Travel Funds
These funds are available to assist students in their research related expenses or to fund attendance at conferences to which research students have been invited to present their research findings.
Priority in the award of these grants will be given to research students who have passed their qualifying examination for D.Phil. status. Students who are waiting for the result of a transfer of status application may be offered a conditional award. Applications from M.Phil students for a grant towards the cost of research for their dissertation will also be considered if sufficient resources are available. M.Sc. students may apply if fieldwork is required for their compulsory dissertation and strongly supported by their supervisor.
It should be stressed that the resources of both funds are very limited, and that competition for them is likely to be intense. Students are strongly urged to seek funding from other sources, including their Departments or Faculties. Evidence of students' initiative in securing additional funding will be taken into consideration by the selection committee. Details of other funds on offer are published in the Oxford University Gazette: www.ox.ac.uk/gazette
Students would not normally expect to receive total grants in excess of £600 during their time at the College.
Applications should be sent to the Bursary Assistant, Mrs Alison Winstone (Bursary@sant.ox.ac.uk) by 12 noon on Friday of Sixth Week of the term in question. Results will be announced at the end of term.
Along with the completed application form applicants must provide:
· A statement of the research project in at least 500 words, and details of fieldwork plans OR details of the conference to be attended, including an abstract of the paper to be present and evidence of acceptance of the paper by conference organizers.
