British Federation of Women Graduates Charitable Foundation
The National BFWG awards are awarded to women research students for their final year of formal study towards a doctoral higher degree (PhD, DPhil, DMus, etc). This assumes the application is made during the period of the competition. Typically, awards will range from £2,500 to £6,000 although a successful candidate would not be offered more than one BFWG award in the same year.
Although there are various named scholarships, most awards are open to any field of study. A few are set aside specifically for medical sciences, geography, architecture or engineering, and biological, geological, meteorological or radiological science. Not all of these are likely to be awarded in each round of awards. You can choose to specify which award you would like to apply for, but you can also leave that section of the Application Form blank for the AAC to allocate.
It is not a condition to join BFWG when applying for a national award although all women graduates are eligible for BFWG and IFUW and UWE affiliated membership.
