The Doctoral College is pleased to announce another round of Black Futures PhD scholarships, to help talented UK-domiciled Black students pursue a PhD at the University of Southampton.
This prestigious 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 £1,100 per year
- a bespoke professional development programme
- dedicated careers training and support
The Black Futures scholarships are open to applicants who:
- are eligible for home fees
- have Black or mixed Black heritage
- have applied for a research postgraduate programme at the University of Southampton starting in the 2025/26 academic year
You can view the full details of the Black Futures scholarship – including how to apply – on the University website.
The deadline for Black Futures scholarship applications to be received is Friday 28 February 2025. We encouraged interested applicants to apply as soon as possible, as we may close applications for the scholarship earlier than the deadline due to limited availability.
Please do mention the scholarships in any conversations you have with potential PhD students. If you have any questions about the scholarship, you can email the Doctoral College.
