Paul Cottingham Trust Scholarship

The Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender (CTSG) is offering the Paul Cottingham Trust scholarship for entry onto the Social Research Methods MSc for the 2023-24 academic year. The scholarship will be awarded to a candidate who is committed to making a difference to the wider Trans community, especially its most marginalised members, for example disabled Trans people and Trans people of colour. The successful candidate will receive dedicated mentoring by a current CTSG member of staff and a PhD student to support your academic career. They will also receive up to £1,500 towards the cost of attending relevant conferences.

To be considered for the scholarship you must:

• have accepted an offer of a place on the MSc Social Research Methods for the 2023-24 academic year.
• be domiciled in the UK and not required to pay tuition fees at the international rate.
• be self-funding. Students taking out a masters loan can apply, but applicants funded by employers, other scholarships or other funding schemes are not eligible.

We particularly welcome applications from the Trans community. An award will be withdrawn if a student fails to meet the conditions set by the university.
