If you are requesting funding for a research project or trip, please apply to the Graduate School's Research Projects Fund.

Awards Available:

There are two categories of award: Major (requests for OVER £250) and Minor (requests for £250 OR LESS). The rules for submitting each type of application are different so please make sure the appropriate instructions are followed. Please note:

The deadlines for submitting Major Award applications to the Graduate School in 2012/13 are Friday 26 October 2012 and Friday 26 April 2013.
Applications for Minor Awards do not have a deadline but are considered on an ad hoc basis (funds permitting). In view of the heavy demands made on these funds, it is anticipated that Minor Awards will not be available from approx. late April until the start of the next financial year on 1st August.

All queries should be directed to the Graduate School on ext. 37840 or email gradschool@ucl.ac.uk
