The Studentship is open to any person who is admitted by the Board of Graduate Studies and intends to do research in Social Anthropology leading to the Ph.D. Degree, regardless of whether they are liable for fees at the Home or Overseas rate. It is a condition of the Studentship that UK and EU students are eligible for ESRC or CHESS funding and that overseas students are eligible for a CISS funding.

The Studentship shall normally be tenable for three years, and will not be renewable thereafter, but the Electors have discretion to award it for a shorter period.
