Perry Foundation

Perry Postgraduate Scholarships

Applications are invited from holders of 1st class or 2:1 honours degrees, in appropriate subjects, for Postgraduate Scholarships to support research projects in agriculture and related fields, including veterinary projects, and particularly areas of work which would be eligible for a Perry Research Award.

Scholarships must be undertaken at Universities, Colleges and Research Institutes in the United Kingdom. Also, Scholarships may be offered jointly with a Perry Research Award.

The Scholarships are for a maximum period of 3 years and should lead to the award of a Doctorate. The Foundation does not offer support for taught courses leading to an MSc. or other qualifications.

All applications submitted must be supported by the University, College or Research Institute, in the United Kingdom, where the scholarship will be undertaken.

Scholarship projects must be of definable benefit to UK agriculture

An Application Form, Conditions of Award, the funding level and full details of submission dates and procedures will be sent by the Secretary of the Foundation upon receipt of the Enquiry Form.
