IGDC PhD Scholarship

IGDC is offering a PhD scholarship for researchers commencing their PhD in October 2022. The scholarship covers a full fee waiver (at the UK fee level) and an annual stipend at the RCUK rate (£15,609 in 2021/22). Subject to satisfactory progress, the scholarship is awarded for three years. The award is open to the UK and international students of outstanding academic merit and research potential. 

You will be considered for the scholarship if you have applied for the PhD in Global Development between 27 September 2021 and 31 March 2022 and selected ‘IGDC’ from the ‘scholarships’ menu on the online application form. This date will be taken from your application. If your application is dated after 31 March 2022, you will not be considered for this funding.  

If you hold a deferred offer to start in October 2022, having applied initially prior to Monday 27 September 2021, you will need to confirm your wish to be considered for the scholarships by emailing henrice.altink@york.ac.uk 

Unfortunately, any requests to be considered for these scholarships received after the deadline cannot be accepted.
