Scholarship Information
Eligibility criteria
This isn’t just for “midlife” scholars – it’s for mid-career minds, defined not by age but by impact. Here’s a quick checklist: You must be employed at a UK university, Higher Education Institution, or Independent Research Organisation. You’re typically within 15 years of your PhD (or first academic appointment if you don’t hold a doctorate). You’ve already made a mark in your field and can communicate your work brilliantly to the public. Career breaks? The Academy does take them into account.
