A reminder that the Doctoral College has launched a prestigious Black Futures scholarship scheme, to support UK-domiciled Black and mixed-Black heritage students who want to pursue a PhD at Southampton.
Each scholarship comprises:
- a £20,000 per annum tax-free stipend for 3.5 years
- full UK fees paid
- an annual researcher training and support grant of £1,000 per year to support researcher development
The Black Futures scholarships are open to applicants who:
- are eligible for home fees
- have Black or mixed Black heritage
- and have applied for a research postgraduate programme at Southampton starting in the 2024/25 academic year
You can view the full details of the Black Futures scholarship – including how to apply – on the Doctoral College website. The deadline for Black Futures scholarship applications to be received is Friday 23 February 2024, with successful applicants being notified by the end of March 2024.
Other financial support for PhD study at Southampton
As well as the Black Futures scholarship, we also have other PhD scholarships and bursaries on offer:
- Innovation and Social Impact scholarships for researchers who want to drive social impact from their research, through influencing policy, commercialising the outputs of their research or becoming a startup founder.
- Presidential bursaries for overseas researchers, covering the fee difference between UK and overseas fees (open to all overseas candidates).
You can view the full details of these schemes (including how to apply and terms and conditions) on the Doctoral College website.
Please do mention the scholarships and fee waivers in any conversations you have with potential PhD students. If you have any questions, please email the Doctoral College.
