Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships in the Humanities
Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships in the Humanities cover the full cost of a PhD, including a travel allowance. They are for students in the broad areas of history, literature and languages at six partner universities. The programme has been running since 2012 and has allocated over £24 million.
Students are selected by the university and enquiries should be made directly to the institution.
We carefully selected the participating universities following an independent review, based on a formula using publicly available research data. We regularly review this formula and the participating universities.
We previously paused this programme in 2023 to review it following the publication of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF).
Enquiries about applying should be directed to the relevant participating university listed below.
