Wolfson Foundation continues support for York students

Posted on 8 August 2012

The Department of English and Related Literature will be part of a competition for three fully-funded places for postgraduate research commencing in autumn 2013.

The Wolfson Foundation has once again selected the University of York to host Wolfson Scholars. An award of up to £234,000 will be made available by the Foundation to fund three doctoral scholars over the next three years, at the level of £26,000 each year for each student. The awards will be available for doctoral study in any of the three disciplines that align closely with the Foundation's interests: history, literature and languages.

The Wolfson Foundation was established in 1955 to support research excellence in a number of fields, including arts and humanities. The first Wolfson Scholars at the University of York will commence their studies in October 2012.
