Major Grants

A number of major awards, up to a maximum of 2,000 pounds each, are offered. Successful applicants are expected to make their supported work public (by the presentation of a paper to the Bibliographical Society or some other learned society, or by publication). No more than two awards are made specifically to students undertaking work for a PhD. Applicants for these awards should declare themselves on their application form. It is expected that the work proposed is necessary for the successful completion of the thesis and applicants should explain why their university is not funding this essential work.

Applicants do not need to be members of the Society. All other things being equal, the Society gives priority to work that will be published and to scholars who have no opportunity of gaining institutional support for their research. Visit website for the application forms.
