This might be of interest to postgraduate list members. Note, though, that you will have to
join CUTG to qualify. On the topic of travel grants, of course don't forget the WIGS fund -

The CUTG invites applications for two travelling scholarships of up to
£250 each, intended to assist postgraduate members in travelling abroad to
carry out research for their thesis or give a paper directly related to
their area of study. The scholarships are intended to contribute to the
costs of reasonable and necessary travel and/or accommodation.
The deadline for applications is 16 December 2005. If unsuccessful the
first time, applicants may re-submit their application in the following
round. No further re-submissions will be accepted.
The following criteria of eligibility apply:
• Applicants must be a fully paid-up member of the CUTG at least
from the submission of the application to the time of payment of the
scholarship. It is the responsibility of applicants to ensure that their
membership has been approved before their application is submitted.
• Applicants must be registered at a university in Great Britain or
Ireland for a PhD on a topic related to German Studies.
• Postgraduate students based abroad or already carrying out
research abroad are ineligible to apply.
An application statement of no more than 250 words as a MSWord document

([log in to unmask]). It should contain the following details:
• The name and contact details of the applicant.
• The applicant’s PhD thesis topic or title; the institution at
which it is registered; and the full name of the supervisor(s).
• Details of the research or paper, its relevance to the applicant’s
thesis and the timing of the trip.
• A costed breakdown of the items for which the applicant is seeking
support.
• Details of any other funding for the trip which the applicant has
applied for or obtained. Applicants should note that the CUTG encourages
them also to seek funding from other bodies.
Applicants will be informed of the Committee’s decision within two months
of the deadline.Successful applicants will receive their scholarship at
that time.
Scholarship holders are required to supply to the Treasurer within three
months of the completion of their trip a report on the visit of no more
than 200 words, along with any relevant receipts or documentation, or
copies thereof.
Scholarships will be awarded at the discretion of the CUTG Committee,
which retains the right to apply further criteria of selection and
eligibility.
