The Richards Fund provides studentships or grants to assist with fieldwork for graduate students registered for a course of field research in the Department of Social Anthropology. The Department interprets this to be for PhD students (whether their first year of training was pre-field training or the MRes) embarking on field research in their second year of study.

Funding awarded is at the discretion of the Trustees.
