Scholarships at University of Liverpool

The Duncan Norman Research Scholarship at the University of Liverpool was established in 2004 following the receipt of a generous donation from The Duncan Norman Charitable Trust in memory of the late Duncan Norman.

A scholarship shall be awarded annually and competition therefore is very strong.

This prestigious Scholarship consists of the following funding and research support:

• Competitive annual maintenance stipend of £17,000 (or top-up to this level of maintenance if the candidate is in receipt of another source of funding)

• Full payment of tuition fees (Home, EU or Overseas)

• Free University accommodation of up to £4,635 pa or an allowance of the same amount for students wishing to live off campus

• Laptop or desktop computer of up to £1000 in value

• Support for conference expenses of up to £500 in years 2 & 3.

Open to

The Scholarship is open for application to all prospective full-time postgraduate research students irrespective of nationality, tuition fee status or subject area.

Eligibility criteria

It is expected that, where possible, all candidates for the Duncan Norman Research Scholarship should also have made an application to secure funding from alternate sources for a postgraduate studentship. If offered, the studentship must be accepted, and in such circumstances the Duncan Norman Research Scholarship would provide additional top up funding.

The holders of the Scholarship must register for a PhD at the University of Liverpool and attend any events based in Liverpool that are organised by the Duncan Norman Charitable Trust.
