Southampton MA Holocaust Scholarships

This is a competitive process and not all applications will be successful.

There are 3 stages to the shortlisting process:

• We check that you meet the eligibility criteria
• We review your Postgraduate application and scholarship application
• A panel, chaired by the Director of the Parkes Institute, will decide on who gets the scholarships

The decision of the scholarship panel is final.

Your personal statement should explain:

why you want to study at the Parkes Institute

your research interests

your professional experience and ambition

if relevant, details of financial circumstances

The quality of your application and the relevance of your research project to the broad remit of the Institute (Jewish/non-Jewish relations use of Special Collections) will be the major consideration when assessing applications.

Financial need will be considered but will not be a major determining factor in our decision-making. If you want your financial circumstances to be considered, you should provide supporting documentation, such as evidence of incomings and outgoings when you apply.

To apply for this scholarship you must:

have an offer to study Holocaust: History, Experience, Heritage, either full time or part time

achieve a 2:1 (65% minimum) or an equivalent qualification in your undergraduate studies

not be getting an external scholarship.
