Funding the Future for Women

Grants, bursaries and fellowships available for women graduates studying in Great Britain

Funds for Women Graduates (FfWG) is an educational charity whose objective is promoting the higher education and wider learning of women graduates. We do this by awarding grants to assist with the living expenses of women postgraduate students, typically in the final year of work towards a PhD or equivalent degree.

“As a student who is largely self-funding, with only partial scholarships, this grant relieved an enormous burden. Freed up from the obligation to work extra hours to cover my expenses, I was able to rededicate that time to my studies. I am confident that I would not have made such significant strides in the past year without this support”
