Selection criteria: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.
