Eligibility
To be eligible, applicants must be paid up members of the FSBI at the time of making a grant application.
Research projects may be in any field of study relevant to fish biology and to the aims of the FSBI, as listed on the inside cover page of the Journal of Fish Biology. Projects concerned solely with shellfish (Mollusca or Crustacea) are not eligible for support.
What Studentships Include
The award is fully funded for four years. The Society will be responsible for the payment of institutional fees up to the level required for UK residents (at UK universities) and Republic of Ireland students (at Irish universities). Including the costs of tuition, registration for a higher degree, and viva voce examinations.
The current stipend is approximately £1,000 more than UK Research Council (UKRI) standard rate, with a differential stipend (London weighting) for students registered at London-based universities, and include an annual £3,500 contribution to consumable costs. Students that do not meet these residence criteria must evidence arrangements to pay the balance of any university fees (e.g. match funding and/or fee waiver from the University).
