In the previous post, we give an information about UK Scholarships from UCL CIHD 2010. Now, UK scholarship programme offered by The Frederick Bonnart-Braunthal. The Frederick Bonnart-Braunthal scholarship programme is aimed at combating intolerance. It supports research to this end, from any academic discipline. Current and prospective LSE MPhil/PhD students working in areas relevant to religious, racial and cultural intolerance are invited to apply.

Structure

* (up to) four-year award beginning in October 2010;
* the award has an annual value of £15,000, which will cover fees in all cases;
* the remainder of the award once fees have been paid will be made available for maintenance purposes;
* the award is renewable annually subject to satisfactory academic performance;

The scholarship will be coordinated by the LSE Centre for the Study of Human Rights, so in addition to joining the academic department of their supervisor, the successful recipient will have the opportunity to become a junior research associate of the Centre. They will be invited to play a part in the intellectual life of the Centre by, for example, leading a research seminar on their work.
