Call for Applications, deadline – 30 April 2025
The Cromwell Association was established in 1937 in order to advance the public understanding of the life and legacy of Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658) and the wider history of the seventeenth century. The purpose of the Postgraduate Research Grant (PRG) is to further a charitable purpose of the Association by providing encouragement and support to postgraduate students engaged in research on a topic relevant to the Association’s core objective of promoting understanding of Cromwell and his times. Applications from students seeking to conduct research on an aspect of the life and legacy of Oliver Cromwell, or a topic related to the British Civil Wars, the Interregnum (1649–1660) or the Restoration period are particularly welcome.
Grants are open to any person currently studying for a postgraduate degree at a university or similar institution in the UK or Ireland.
It is the Association’s intention to award grants from a total fund of £1500. Applicants can apply for the full £1500 or for any amount below that sum. The grants are intended for expenses associated with research, such as travel, accommodation etc. but not, for example, to write up material already researched, or to pay publication fees.
