PhD bursaries for research

Froebel Trust PhD bursaries support students undertaking research with a Froebelian focus relating to young children’s learning.

The Froebel Trust has provided PhD bursaries to support students undertaking research with a Froebelian focus relating to young children’s learning at home and in other contexts and/ or education, training, pedagogy, policy and practice for early childhood education and care.

The Froebel Trust has supported PhD students with bursaries at University of Cambridge, University of Roehampton, Institute of Education (UCL), Canterbury Christ Church University and University of Edinburgh.

Bursaries enable outstanding students to pursue a PhD at a university or a similar research institution in the UK. They cover fees (at the UK student rate) and provide a maintenance grant.

Applicants must demonstrate that one or more of their proposed supervisors has prior knowledge of the literature and/ or practice based on Froebelian philosophy and principles.
