Hello all!
I'm hurtling through my third year now (in Politics, but with urban studies, human geography, and philosophy in there) and am thinking about next year. Of course I am applying for academic jobs, but have a strong suspicion that it might not happen smoothly. My funding runs out this summer, so was considering applying to the two funding schemes of the British Federation of Women Graduates. I know they do grants based on both academic excellence (Bfwg) and financial need (ffwg).
Has anyone here ever applied, and more importantly has anyone ever been successful!? Tips would, of course, be appreciated!
