FfWG offers Emergency Grants to graduate women who face an unforeseen financial crisis (not with their fees) whilst engaged in study or research at an approved institution of higher education in Great Britain. These grants will be offered twice a year, in May and November. In 2020 the closing date for the next round of grants will be Thursday I October 2020.
You must be studying and resident in Great Britain during your study period
FfWG would like to thank you for taking the time to complete your application form. FfWG strives to maximize the amount of funds used to make grants and in order to do so you will only be informed of the result of your application if you are successful. If you have not heard from FfWG within two months of the closing date then you should assume that you have been unsuccessful. You may e-mail for the result if you are unsure.
To be eligible you must have completed at least six months of the course and be resident in this country whilst studying. You must ask your referees their permission to use them as a referee and ask them to add to their contacts.
The criteria for awarding Grants are the proven needs of the applicant and her academic calibre. Competition is very great so not all qualifying applicants will receive a Grant. Grants are offered on a needs basis therefore not all grants will be for the maximum sum quoted for the grant. Funds For Women Graduates (FfWG) does NOT provide funds for:
FfWG is an educational charity whose objective is to promote ‘the advancement of education and promotion of higher education and wider learning of women graduates’ by providing grants specifically for living expenses to Women during their UK based postgraduate studies, with the aim of positively impacting their future career and our society as a whole.
The Charity is a subsidiary of the British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG) with which its history is richly entwined. BFWG itself also promotes research by women graduates in the final year of a PhD, or completing postdoctoral research, by the provision of BFWG Scholarships (Academic Awards).
Incorporated in 1925 as the Crosby Hall Association Limited, the name was changed to Crosby Hall Limited when it took charitable status in 1971 and again to Crosby Hall in 1975. Following the sale of Crosby Hall in 1992, the Charity became the BFWG Charitable Foundation in 1993.
For purposes of registration both as a limited company in England (No. 206171) and as a charity under the Charities Act 1960 (No. 312903), the name BFWG Charitable Foundation has been retained. However, in order to distinguish its work more clearly from that of its parent company, FfWG was registered as the Charity’s Trading Name in 2006.
