Wordsworth Conference Foundation Bursaries 2021
Bursaries funded by the Wordsworth Conference Foundation have hitherto normally been intended to enable young scholars, principally at postgraduate and early post-doctoral level, to attend the annual Wordsworth Summer Conference and Wordsworth Winter School. During the period in which live face-to-face events are not possible, the Trustees nonetheless wish to continue to advance the main aims of the Foundation by making available to young scholars who are working on the Wordsworth circle and/or Wordsworthian aspects of Romanticism a small fund which will either facilitate attendance at online conferences, pay for scholarly resources, or otherwise support their continuing research. Applications are invited from full-time postgraduates, or from those who have completed a PhD within the last five years (i. e. January 2016-present), for up to 12 Bursaries of £250. Please email a letter of application (clearly labelled BURSARY 2021) in the form of a Word attachment to proposal.wsc@gmail.com giving your reasons for applying and explaining clearly how the bursary funds will be used. Please also arrange for an independently emailed supporting letter to be sent from your supervisor or academic referee verifying your status. Additional information will be found on the Wordsworth Conference Foundation website; go to https://www.wordsworthconferences.org.uk. The closing date for applications is 12 noon UK time on Monday 17 May 2021.
