Funding
Even if your PGR studies aren’t funded, you might still be able to apply for grants through various schemes. The Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding is a good place to start. Here you’ll find a database of grants available through charities, trusts, and foundations.
The Research Professional database allows you to search for funding opportunities by a variety of criteria, and also sign up for email alerts.
For details of other schemes that could be appropriate at later stages of your research degree, such as the Doctoral Overseas Conferences Grant and the Researcher-Led Initiative Fund, take a look at the Sussex Researcher School's (SRS) funding webpages.
