 Selden Society: Milsom Studentship in English Legal History 2021 

The Society invites applications for a Milsom Studentship beginning in September/October 2021. 

The Selden Society regularly funds a Milsom Studentship for a person undertaking research in English legal history leading to the degree of PhD (or equivalent) at a university in the United Kingdom. The Studentship is named in honour of the late Professor S.F.C. Milsom, sometime Literary Director and President of the Society. 

The studentship is tenable for a maximum of three years, subject to an annual review of progress. The annual value of the studentship is a sum equivalent to the current total of the home fees and recommended minimum maintenance allowance at the university at which the student is registered for the PhD degree, to a total maximum of £22,500. Preference may be given to applicants who do not have funding from another source. 

Applicants are asked to submit their research proposal and CV, and indicate the university and department where they will pursue their degree. Applicants should also arrange for two academic references to be submitted. 

Application forms may be downloaded from the Grants and Prizes page on the Selden Society website, or obtained from the Secretary of the Society, School of Law, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS, selden-society@qmul.ac.uk. The deadline for receipt of applications and references is 23 April 2021.
