KPA bursaries
The Keele Postgraduate Association (KPA) bursary
scheme can provide additional financial support
to postgraduate students undertaking training,
dissemination and research activities. The bursaries
are open to all postgraduates at Keele and awards
given can reach a maximum of £500 for each
individual applicant.
Past funding was used to support a range of student
academic activities including training in the use
of specialist scientific equipment, attendance at
conferences and workshops as far afield as California,
as well as activities closer to home, such as visiting
the National Archives in London.
Studentships
Keele University has a number of studentships
available that are funded internally or from external
sponsors such as research councils or from industry.
If you are interested in any of the studentships
available you can apply online.

Research council funding
The main sources of research funding in the UK
are the research councils, each of which covers
different fields of study. Normally only UK and EU
nationals are eligible for support (although EU
nationals are not currently eligible for living costs,
only tuition fees unless resident for three years in
the UK). Most research council studentships
are awarded for doctoral study (PhDs,
or occasionally professional doctorates).
