Institute of Railway Studies & Transport History, York, UK
The Robert Charles (Bob) Hunt Bursary
The Robert Charles (Bob) Hunt Bursary has been established by Mrs Margaret
Hunt in memory of her husband, Bob.
The bursary is in the sum of £2000 and will be awarded to a student who will
be registered for a research degree in the Institute of Railway Studies &
Transport History (IRS&TH) during the 2010-11 academic session.
The bursary is restricted to students carrying out research into aspects of
the history of either the Great Western Railway or the Midland Railway. If
no suitable recipient is identified, secondary priority will be given to
students working on research into the successor companies of the Great
Western Railway and the Midland Railway; i.e. the Western Region of British
Rail(ways), the London, Midland & Scottish Railway and the London Midland
Region of BR.
The bursary must be used at the student's discretion to enable the student’s
research but may cover travel and subsistence expenses as well as
part-payment of the University’s tuition fees.
The bursary will be awarded by the Management Committee of the IRS&TH on the
recommendation of the Institute's Head. Applicants will be assessed
according to the academic quality of the proposed research, its relevance to
the required subject matter, and any additional educational benefits that
the applicant will derive from the bursary.
Applications should be made electronically in writing to Dr Colin Divall,
the Head of the Institute <[log in to unmask]> stating in no more than 500
words how the bursary, if awarded, would be used. Applications must be
received by Friday 2 July 2010.
