The Trustees of the Rank Prize Funds are offering hardship grants to 
final-year PhD students in optoelectronics (including visual science) at 
UK universities whose studies have been disrupted by the COVID-19 
pandemic, and who would not otherwise have the financial resources 
available to complete their studies.

*University departments are invited to nominate one final-year PhD 
student to receive an award. The application should be submitted using 
**this online form*

It is the responsibility of the Head of Department to ensure that no 
more than one application is submitted from their department.

Students nominated should not be in receipt of similar funding from 
another source.

Please note that we are unable to support PhD students funded by UKRI.

department. *

·The Advisory Committees will select the most compelling cases based on 
financial need and the likelihood that the student will subsequently 
embark on a successful research career.

·The value of the award will be £5,000. The award is designed to cover 
the student’s living costs only and is not to be spent on university fees.

·The student will be required to submit a short report six months after 
receipt of the award outlining i) how the award has benefited them ii) 
their PhD and plans for future research. The report should be written in 
non-technical language intelligible to a general audience and parts may 
be used on our website.

·The student will be required to acknowledge the support of the Rank 
Prize Funds in any presentations or publications from their PhD 
studies and to notify the Rank Prize Funds thereof.

·Departments will be notified by mid-June of the outcome of their 
application.
