The Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding 2011-12
The University has subscribed to The Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding 2011-12, which all applicants and current students can download. This guide details how to find and apply to alternative sources of funding - especially charities - which make awards to current and prospective graduate students. Charities are an underrated funding resource, and often make awards to students of any subject and any nationality.
The Guide was written by two postgraduate students who between them have won over £45,000 from 55 different charity awards. It contains model personal and financial statements, and over 250 links to voluntary sector funding sources. The Alternative Guide is independently published by GradFunding.
