Barron Bequest postgraduate grants
Each year the Vinaver Trust offers one or more top-up grants for postgraduate research degrees in the field of Arthurian studies, most typically for the fees due for a PhD or a D.Phil. These grants are made from funds donated for this purpose by Ray Barron. Candidates for the awards will normally be graduates of a university in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, and the awards may be held at any university in this same geographical area. There is a standard form available to be completed by the candidate; the candidate’s supervisor is asked to supply a reference in support at the same time. Payment of the grant is made directly to the Finance Officer (or equivalent) of the relevant institution. The current amount of a grant is £1500. Grants are for a single year, but repeated applications may be made in subsequent years.
The deadline for applications is 1 April every year, and documentation should be submitted to the Director of the Vinaver Trust (see application form for current details).
