- British Federation of Women Graduates - for women in the final year of their PhD
- British School at Athens
- Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund - for Canadian citizens who are research students
- Carnegie Trust Scholarships for doctoral students with a first class degree from a Scottish university

If you are an overseas applicant, you should check your own government’s Education Department to see whether they offer or promote any funding schemes for postgraduate study in the UK. Examples of such schemes include loans for US postgraduate students and SSHRC awards in Canada.
