Wingate Scholarships are awarded to individuals of great potential or proven excellence who need financial support to undertake pioneering or original work of intellectual, scientific, artistic, social or environmental value, and to outstandingly talented musicians for advanced training.
They are designed to help with the costs of a specific project which may last up to 3 years. The average total award is about £6,500 and the maximum in any one year is £10,000.
There is no upper age limit and the Scholarship Committee welcomes applications from mature candidates and those from non-traditional academic backgrounds.
Wingate Scholarships attempts to provide funding for cross-disciplinary projects that might not fall comfortably into any of the conventional funding categories.
Applicants Must be:
· Living in the British Isles during the period of application. (this applies to all applicants)
· Able to satisfy the Scholarship Committee that they need financial support to undertake the work projected.
· Able to show why the project (if it takes the form of academic research) is unlikely to attract Research Council, British Academy or major agency funding.
· Citizens of the United Kingdom or other Commonwealth country, Ireland or Israel.
· Aged 24 or over on September 1st in the year of application.
Deadline: The scholarship is offered every year.
