Historical Thesaurus of the OED Scholarships

Up to four awards of full fees for one year for students beginning research in any of the subject areas covered by the Department of English Language. Recipients will normally be students in the first year of a PhD, but exceptional candidates applying for the research MPhil may be considered. Successful candidates must be accepted by the Faculty of Arts. They will have a Master’s degree or a First or high Upper Second Class degree from a UK or equivalent university and will not hold a major award such as an AHRC studentship.

The scholarships will be named in honour of the four editors of HTOED: Christian Kay, Jane Roberts, Michael Samuels and Irené Wotherspoon.
