Each Scholarship is worth \u00a35000.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme, established in 2022, seeks to actively address underrepresentation and encourage Black and Asian students to consider academic research in History. By supporting Masters\u2019 students the programme focuses on a key early stage in the academic training of future researchers. With these Scholarships, the Society seeks to support students who are without the financial means to study for a Masters\u2019 in History. By doing so, we hope to improve the educational experience of early career historians engaged in a further degree.<\/p>\n<p>The Society is very grateful to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thriplowcharitabletrust.org\/\">Thriplow Charitable Trust<\/a> which provided funding for one Scholarship, and to the <a href=\"https:\/\/pastandpresent.org.uk\/\">Past &amp; Present Society<\/a> who funded a further two Scholarships in 2023-24.
