What is CWIT Research Grants?
Research Grants 2024-25 is sponsored by Charles Wallace India Trust. CWIT also offers a few grants each year to Indian students in the final stages of their doctorates at UK universities who can give us an assurance that they intend to return to India. These grants are small (£700) and intended to help fill a funding gap. To be successful in securing a CWIT grant you will need to show evidence of funding/income from other sources. 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. Last Date of Scholarship is 28th February 2024.
