from the Royal Historical Society
The Royal Historical Society is delighted to award Masters’ Scholarships to the following six students. Each student is now beginning a Masters’ degree in History for the academic year 2023-24:
- Roqibat Adebimpe, to study at the University of Sheffield
- Matthew Dickinson, to study at the University of Manchester
- Baryana Ivanova, to study of the University of Cambridge
- Nawajesh Khan, to study at Cardiff University
- Marielle Masolo, to study at the University of Oxford
- Charlotte Willis, to study at Cardiff University
The Masters’ Scholarship programme provides financial support to students from groups currently underrepresented in academic History. Each Scholarship is worth £5000.
The scheme, established in 2022, seeks to actively address underrepresentation and encourage Black and Asian students to consider academic research in History. By supporting Masters’ students the programme focuses on a key early stage in the academic training of future researchers. With these Scholarships, the Society seeks to support students who are without the financial means to study for a Masters’ in History. By doing so, we hope to improve the educational experience of early career historians engaged in a further degree.
The Society is very grateful to the Thriplow Charitable Trust and the Past & Present Society who each provided funding for one Scholarship in 2023-24. We will be keeping in touch with this year’s recipients and wish them well for their studies.
Supporting Masters’ Scholarships: future rounds
The Society seeks to offer as many Scholarships as we can to talented eligible early career historians.
If you or your organisation would like to help us support additional Masters’ Scholarships in future rounds, please email president@royalhistsoc.org to discuss options with the Society’s President, Professor Emma Griffin.
