I'd add charities to that, depending on the topic - certainly in the medical disease field there are a number of disease-specific charities that look to support PhD programs.

Hi Laura,

 You might find something here research.com it is easy to register and get email alerts. It will depend on the project too, there may be interested grant bodies who could provide funding.

I'm sure others will have other suggestions too - I have been self-funding so not much experience of chasing bucks either!

Best of luck

Kay

Dear All,

I was hoping somebody out there might be able to help me! It has been heavily suggested to me by my supervisor that I apply for a PhD - there is a project ready to go, all(!) we need is the funding. I have never really looked for funnding before, as I had always planned to pursue the Doctorate in Educational Psychology, but as there is ongoing uncertainty in relation to this course I thought it would be wise to investigate the PhD option. The problem is, I don't know where to start with funding - does anyone have a suggestion of where to look for a simple breakdown of all the different funding options and what the differences are? I'm finding it all very confusing!

Thank you for your help,

Laura
