The Arts and Humanities Research Council
The UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) offers funding to both MA and PhD students.
The Council operates an annual competition for funding for full-time or part-time research preparation Masters degree. Eligibility for fees and maintenance awards usually requires UK residency, but for fees only, EU residency is a usual criterion. Applications for AHRC funding must be supported by the university the applicant intends to attend, so applicants should apply for a place on the MA well in advance of the AHRC funding competition deadline in late April to early May.
RGCSA Grants
The Research Group for the Critical Study of Astrology (RGCSA) offers grants to students studying for MA, MSc and PhD degrees at UK Universities. The group aims to stimulate and facilitate the critical study of astrology as judged by the disciplines of social statistics, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies, and to provide the basis for inter-university and international collaboration on research into astrology.
