ASM Studentship
All members of the St Hilda’s Association of Senior Members (ASM) are eligible to apply for the ASM Studentship. Those who are not ASM members but who have made a substantial contribution in any form to St Hilda’s College will also be considered. Priority will be given to ASM members.
The ASM Studentship is awarded annually to support independent study. It is designed to help people return to an interrupted academic career or to re-orientate by changing subject. Women and carers who wish to get back into research are particularly encouraged to apply.
The Studentship honorarium is a single award of £4,000. It is not expected that this award will cover the entire cost of a research project. A non-exhaustive list of examples of how the funding may be used is in the Appendix to this agreement.
The holder may also use the facilities of the SCR and St Hilda’s College Library and subject to availability may be granted up to a week’s residence in each vacation, up to 3 weeks in total.
