2 Announcements: Scholarships & FanstRAvaganza

Scholarship & Research Grant

The Richard III Foundation has two programs, in which they support research and historical interest in the time of King Richard III:

The first, the “Richard III Foundation Scholarship for Medieval Studies“, is open for graduate students and those researching for a doctorate.

If you are a hobby researcher, local historian or independent scholar and do not meet the requirements for the first program,  you can join in as well. The second program then is specially created for you.

The “John Davey Research Grant for Medieval Studies” has the goal to support and encourage historical interest beyond the institutionalised boundaries of historical research.

Applications can be handed in this year till 30th of June 2012.

To apply and get more details of the research grants, please send an e-mail to: R3FoundationScholarship@yahoo.com
