Lets talk about funding!

Hi NikkiW
This thread is great idea.
Being made aware of any funding schemes is so beneficial to many people.

This means that you have to compete with the other projects, so even if you get accepted on to the PhD there is no guarantee it will be funded. Stipend is around 14k a year; non-taxable.

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a PhD. I found one at the university of Birmingham which says it is EPSRC-funded and at the university website is indicated as "Competition Funding". What does it mean? Also, how much is approximatelly the wage for a funded phd student? Thank you!

Hi all,
I'm an international student, and I got accepted into Edinburgh Uni, and I've applied for the university's own partial scholarships. These, however, don't cover the total cost of the programme (Research Masters), and as an international student there are quite some limitations as to funding opportunities.
I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any kind of source for funding at tbis level.
The degree is for Science, Technology and Innovation.
Thanks.

I just got my funding from government, but frankly, it's kind of extreme stress, because government keep chasing for results, reports, progress reports....etc...and must passed, cannot failed, dropout, hanky panky...anyway, I thank Jesus God for His blessing for funding...when I has nobody to depends on, Jesus is the one that helped me...all glory and honor to God, may God bless my country, my government!

Hi

I've been offered some funding to do a masters at my uni but have applied to another place that I'd rather go (the unis are of about the same standard). I have a place at this second uni but no funding yet - however I know that they offer funding later.

The deadline for responding to the offer of funding that I have is very soon and I probably won't hear back (re funding) from the second uni before the deadline.

If I accept the funding from my uni, how big a problem would it be to turn it down if I were to get funding from the other uni?

Thanks!!

Hello , friends! I am I student from Russia and I am accepted for a luxury management program (master) which is held in two countries ( France and Italy) . Unfortunately, there is no funding for this program , which I desperately need, as many of you do. However,it is written on the Italian university website that students can participate in findamasters scholarship competition! But when I looked at the winners of this competitions I saw that almost all of them are from the UK and studying also there. Do I have any chances to win a scholarship or it is not worth to spend time and effort, because I am not english and I am not going to study there?
Thank you)

You are going to struggle to find funding for a science program as an international student. I suggest you look to your government for funding. UK students that are funded in science get their funding from their university or other funding body and the PhD will be advertised as funded at the time. Retrospective science funding is practically unheard of.

Hello friends, I am an international student, I just got an offer from University of Reading for a PhD in Soil Science, but I need a source of funding. the estimated first year tuition is £18,400. Please I need your kind help and suggestions on getting a funder or funding agency to help with the payments, otherwise I will not be able to pick up the admission. Thank you for your help.

Does this site cover the UK only or the rest of Europe? I'm considering France, Belgium, Switzerland, and maybe Finland as well for a PhD in Mathematical Computational Physics. I want one as "fully" funded as possible so as to not incur further DEBT for education which may or may not be of any use given my skin color and people's tendency to assume I look like a high school dropout who must not have gone to college at all when they first see me.

I had some absolutely rubbish and scary news today about my funding! I feel like screaming, but that's not going to do help. So I thought I'd share it on here to get some sympathy and empathy ;-)

Oh no, that doesn't sound good! Hope it's something you can work out.

Thanks! :)
