Scholarship value

We are pleased to offer two fully funded Studentships associated with the Tizard Centre. Each of the scholarships available will cover UK tuition fees and an annual stipend based on the current ESRC studentship maintenance grant (£18,622 per annum (2023/24 rate) in line with the UKRI rate).

The Adult Social Care Studentship will also receive up to £6,428 across the three years for reasonable and justified research costs, and the Tizard Studentship in research into education for prisoners with additional learning needs will receive up to £500 per annum (pro-rata for part-time students) for project expenses
