Wolfson Foundation renews support for Postgraduate Scholarships in the Humanities

The Wolfson Foundation has renewed funding for their scholarship programme, which was launched last year, to support postgraduate students in the humanities at UCL. The Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships in the Humanities cover the three disciplines of history, literature and languages. They support outstanding students who have the potential to make lasting impacts in their academic field. UCL was chosen last year as one of a small group of UK universities to receive postgraduate student support under the scheme, with three students awarded scholarships who began their studies in 2012. The Wolfson Foundation has now pledged to support an additional three students, starting their studies in 2013. The 2013 UCL recipients of the scholarships are Matthew Ellison (Languages), Elizabeth Mills (Literature) and Ruth Mason (History). The scholarships cover the fees, maintenance and research costs for three postgraduate students.
