Charles Wallace India Trust Short Research Grants 2023-24

A total of 15-20 scholars will receive £1,500 towards the costs of their stay in the UK. The funding is usually enough for a period of about three weeks. The grants are payable in the UK and do not cover international travel costs. 

Note - 

• The grantees will also be expected to cover their own travel costs within India and are required to obtain the appropriate level of insurance coverage for travel and medical emergencies.
• Applicants planning to stay in the UK for more than three weeks will need to supplement the CWIT grant with other funding e.g a grant from the Indian Council for historical research.
• CWIT also offers a few grants each year to Indian students in the final stages of their doctorates at UK universities who can give an assurance that they intend to return to India.
• The grants will be small (£600) and intended to help fill a funding gap. To be successful in securing a CWIT grant the applicant will require to show evidence of funding/income from other sources. 

• A brief CV including postal address and email with applicant's photo
• Emergency name and contact details in India
• A clear statement of what the applicant wants to achieve in the UK and for academic researchers what sources they wish to consult in not more than 2-3 pages
• An indication of how much time the applicant wishes to spend in the UK
• Names and addresses of two referees who know the applicant's work well and who have agreed to be referees
• An assurance that the applicants are within the eligible age range and they have not received a CWIT grant within the last 5 years
