The next round of applications, for students studying for a Masters’ degree in History from September 2024 will open in 2024.

Each year the Society seeks to award a minimum of four scholarships to students who will begin a Masters’ degree in History (full or part-time) at a UK university from the start of the next academic year.

The programme, established in 2022, seeks to actively address underrepresentation and encourage Black and Asian students to consider academic research in History. By supporting Masters’ students the programme focuses on a key early stage in the academic training of future researchers. With these Scholarships, we seek to support students who are without the financial means to study for a Masters’ in History. By doing so, we hope to improve the educational experience of early career historians engaged in a further degree.
