Description
Wingate Scholarships are awarded to individuals of great potential or proven excellence who need financial support to undertake creative or original work of intellectual, scientific, artistic, social or enviromental value and to outstanding musicians for advanced training. There is no upper age limit and the scholarship committee welcomes applications from mature candidates and those from non-traditional academic backgrounds. Previous Wingate Scholars are not eligible.
Funding is available for Post-Doctoral studies, fieldwork (associated with independent research, Post-Doctoral studies or completing a PhD). Funding is not available for Doctoral studies (except for costs to be met in or after the final year of a PhD). Please note this is a change from previous years - and means no awards for undertaking PhDs or DPhils as such, only for additional costs as set out above.
Awards are offered for independent research in most subjects, and aim to provide funding for multi-disciplinary projects that may not fall into any of the conventional funding categories.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply, applicants must be:
- Resident and contactable in the United Kingdom during the period of application (from the date of applying to 1 July). Applications will only be accepted if submitted from a valid UK address. This applies to all candidates.
- Citizens of the United Kingdom, other Commonwealth or former Commonwealth country, Ireland or Israel, or
- Citizens of an EU or Council of Europe member country (see Useful Links) if they will have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years on 1 September
- 24 years of age or over on 1 September (there is no upper age limit)
- Able to provide evidence of real financial need
Duration
Up to three years
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
Benefits
The scholarships are designed to help with the costs of a specific project lasting up to three years. The maximum award for one year is £10,000, although the trustees are seldom able to provide this amount. To avoid disappointment, only individuals who can clearly demonstrate they meet the criteria should consider applying.

Scholarships are awarded through an annual application programme. The programme (for awards starting in September) will be open for online applications from 1st October to the deadline of 18:00 on 1st February.

Key Information
- Applications sent from overseas are not accepted and all applicants must be contactable in the UK during the period of application (from date of application to 1 July).
- Previous Wingate Scholarship holders cannot re-apply.
- Wingate awards are never given without personal interviews which take place in London throughout May each year, so applicants need to be available in person during that month. Interviews cannot be conducted by telephone.
- All applicants will receive either an invitation to interview or notification that they have been unsuccessful, by the end of April.
- Final decisions are made by the end of June/early July for awards which start the following September.
