• Approved airfare to the United Kingdom and return on expiry of the Fellowship (the cost of journeys made before final award confirmation will not normally be reimbursed, nor can fares be paid for a Fellow’s dependants)
• A research support grant fixed according to subject
• A personal maintenance allowance at the rate of £1,467 per month (£1,819 per month for those studying at institutions in the London Metropolitan area)
• A grant towards the expenses of preparing reports and other written work
• An initial arrival allowance, incorporating an initial clothing grant for Fellows from tropical countries
• A grant for expenses for approved travel within the United Kingdom or overseas
• Candidates should note that there is no marriage or child allowance available. A Fellow who is widowed, divorced or a lone parent and accompanied by children for whom she/he is legally responsible, will receive an allowance in respect of the first accompanying child and child allowances for the second and third accompanying children. The level of financial support given towards the costs of family maintenance in the UK is under review and is subject to change in terms of both eligibility and rate availability.
