The award is valid for up to three years, with the possibility to apply for a one-year extension. No bench fees are required, and these are covered by the supervisor, department, or faculty. Eligibility is strictly for Spanish nationals who have not yet commenced a doctoral degree at King’s College London and who are not recipients of other scholarships or financial aid. Applicants must hold a university degree (Bachelor's, Master's, or equivalent) from a country within the European Higher Education Area or with appropriate accreditation from outside. Candidates must meet the English language requirements for the PhD in Digital Humanities and submit all required documentation, including a personal statement, official transcripts, proof of English proficiency, and a reference.

The research proposal should be developed in discussion with the supervisor. The application process involves submitting a full PhD application via King’s Apply, including all required documents and the correct funding code (2627-KFRA). Additionally, candidates must complete the KFRA and EDI online forms by the deadline of 13 February 2026. Shortlisted candidates will later be required to submit a separate application to the Fundación Ramón Areces. The selection criteria include the quality of the research proposal, the preparedness of the applicant, and the feasibility of the proposed research. The programme is ideal for candidates interested in the intersection of digital technology and the humanities, including areas such as computational analysis of literature, digital history, and media studies.
