• All Postgraduate student PhD projects must be in an agriculture related discipline including veterinary disciplines and be undertaken at a university, college or research institute in the United Kingdom.
• Projects must be of definable benefit to UK agriculture
• Perry Foundation Awards are a maximum of £12,000 for each year of the duration of the PhD project and normally for three or four years.
