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.
“Without this grant, I would doubtless have had to abandon my PhD, and the 2 years of work I had already put into the project would have been for nothing.”

Support Us
A corporate partnership with Funds for Women Graduates (FfWG) could bring real benefits to your business through appropriate publicity and positive contacts with some of the most talented women at British universities. It would also help us to maintain or expand the level of our annual grant budget.
We are a subsidiary of the British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG)
The Charity is a subsidiary of the British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG) with which its history is richly entwined. BFWG itself also promotes research by women graduates in the final year of a PhD, or completing postdoctoral research, by the provision of BFWG Scholarships (Academic Awards).
