Wingate Scholarships are grants for individuals from The Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation (see separate funder entry). The principal objective of the Foundation is the general advancement of such Jewish and other charitable purposes, as the Trustees, in their absolute discretion, think fit. Specifically, the objectives are to support the arts and education projects and to establish and endow scholarships, fellowships, professional chairs, prizes and awards. The Foundation`s activities fall into two parts: grants awarded by the Trustees to bodies with appropriate charitable objectives and scholarships awarded to individuals selected by an interview panel (see separate funder entry for Wingate Scholarships).
Type of funding available: Independent Research Projects in most subjects (this includes writing projects in biography, fiction and non-fiction, poetry, translation etc); Doctoral and Post-Doctoral studies; Field Work associated with Independent Research, Doctoral or Post-Doctoral Projects; Craft & Design Research Projects. 7 Scholarships in the field of Jewish Studies have been awarded since 1988, with further scholarships made for philosophy, theology, sociology and social anthropology.
