Krebs Memorial Fund

Applications will reopen in Spring 2023 for funding towards the 2023/24 academic year.

The scholarship will cover fees at the home student’s rate and maintenance. International students will therefore need to find the balance of fees from other sources. Financial contribution from the host university will be looked upon favourably. 

The scholarship is usually offered in line with the UKRI/Research Council studentships. For the 2022/23 academic year, the scholarship is worth £20,658. 

The scholarship will be awarded for 1 year in the first instance but may be renewed up to a maximum tenure of 3 years. 

The Krebs Memorial Scholarship will be offered for the 2022/23 academic year, with the option of being extended if satisfactory supervisor reports are received. 

Applicants will be expected to have made prior arrangements with the university at which they intend to hold the award.  

During the application process, candidates will be required to upload a letter from the intended Supervisor, the Head of Department, and two academic referees. Applications will not be considered until all of these supporting letters are received – it is the applicants responsibility to ensure that these letters are received in time for the deadline. 

The Supervisor, Head of Department, and academic referees must be able to place the candidate in the top 5% of PhD candidates by providing an assessment of the candidates academic merit and confirm agreement to accept the applicant at the institution if the candidate is successful in their application.
