We are offering a limited number of bursaries to support postgraduates, early career scholars, those not affiliated to a university (therefore not eligible for university funding towards academic conferences) and those with extenuating circumstances.

To be eligible for a bursary, you must:

• Be a WHN member. If you are not, you can become one here:

https://womenshistorynetwork.org/join-us/

• Have submitted a proposal and look to be presenting at WHN’s 2024 conference.

You must also meet one of the follow criteria:

• Be registered for a postgraduate degree or be within three years of completion of a PhD and without institutional support (or have limited support covering part of the conference, but not all).
• Not be affiliated to an institution, so unable to receive institutional support.
• Have extenuating circumstances and need additional financial support

Each bursary application will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. All bursaries will cover the full cost of conference registration and applications will also be considered for other conference related costs. These include:

• The cost of one night’s accommodation at Royal Holloway, University of London (£60/£70)
• Conference dinner (£50)
• Travel under £150 (or, if international, a contribution towards travel costs. This will not exceed £150).

To be considered for a bursary please complete the application form below before the deadline of noon on 30 April. The applications will be judged by the WHN conference committee. All applicants will be notified of the decision by Friday 31 May 2024.

The ‘rationale of application’ should outline the basis for the application in no more than 500 words. Please include estimated costs in your application for it to be considered.

Please contact whnconference2024@gmail.com if you have any questions.
