The University has created a dedicated scholarship to help talented UK-domiciled Black and mixed-Black heritage students fund their PhD study at Southampton.

Studying for a PhD involves you making an independent research contribution to your chosen field. By doing a PhD at the University of Southampton, you will become part of our exciting research environment, with access to cutting-edge facilities and global collaborations.

We know that finding the funding to do a PhD can be a cause of concern, which is why we’ve created the Black Futures scholarship to help you pursue your research passion.

What does the scholarship offer?

Each scholarship comprises a £20,000 per annum tax-free stipend for 3.5 years, with full UK fees paid and an annual researcher training and support grant of £1,000 per year.

Who’s eligible?

The Black Futures scholarships are open to applicants who:

  • are eligible for UK/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.
