Dear All,

An announcement from our friends at PhilSoc:

The Philological Society is pleased to offer a limited number of bursaries, worth £12,000 each, for students embarking on a taught postgraduate programme in the UK in the areas of linguistics or philology, in accordance with our mission:

to investigate and promote the study and knowledge of the structure, the affinities, and the history of languages. As well as encouraging all aspects of the study of language, PhilSoc has a particular interest in historical and comparative linguistics, and maintains its traditional interest in the structure, development, and varieties of Modern English.  

One bursary, the Anna Morpurgo Davies Master’s Bursary, is normally awarded to someone working on Ancient Languages (including non-Indo-European ones).

The intention is that the bursaries will make a contribution to maintaining and furthering the breadth and diversity of language-study in the UK by providing support for outstanding young scholars in the field.

For full details of the application process and the deadline, please go to the PhilSoc website and click on the Funding and Bursaries tab: https://philsoc.org.uk/funding.
