The program provides comprehensive support, including full tuition and a stipend for a Masters degree if required before starting the PhD. Masters students also receive free accommodation at a Durham college for one year. Successful applicants who progress to the PhD will benefit from three years of full tuition coverage, an elevated stipend to address additional living costs, an annual clinical supervision budget, and funded access to a peer support group for care-experienced researchers. Additionally, the scholarship includes £1,500 per year to support conference attendance, ensuring that students can engage with the wider academic community. Professor Carlene Firmin will supervise the successful applicant, who will join the growing postgraduate research group at the GCCS Durham.
