BFWG Academic Awards and Scholarships for Women for Post Graduate Research

One of the British Federation of Women Graduates' (BFWG) main aims is to support women studying in higher education, to advance their work and create opportunities for career development. Doctoral student awards were first made in the early years of the organization and continue today. Through its linked charities, the BFWG Scholarship Trust Fund and Funds for Women Graduates (FfWG), successful applicants are given one-off financial support.

The BFWG Scholarship fund awards for academic excellence (for students in the second half of their programme of study). FfWG supports on the basis of financial need, including emergency grants for graduates engaged in study or research at an approved institution of higher education in Great Britain. Both charities fund students of any nationality who are studying at universities in England, Scotland and Wales (not Northern Ireland).
