BBSRC funding

G

Hi does anyone know how the BBSRC stipend is paid? Is it monthly? an is it by direct debit? Cheers.

G

It's paid every 3 months by direct debit... in October, January, April and July.

G

It depends - I'm funded by BBSRC but they pay the money to my university to hand out to me monthly as part of their Doctoral Training Account scheme. I also get CASE money at the start of each 3 month period.

G

How much is the stipend for the Doctoral Training Account studentships? Is it the same as the standard amount?

G

The DTAs this year are 12K basic, unless you have CASE or enhanced studentship then it will be more. And don't forget you can also earn up to your tax allowance from tutoring etc to exploit the tax free nature of everything really well. We're in the money ! Who would want to do a real job when they're giving it away !?!?
