The Mark Flinn Award recognises and celebrates students who are keen to develop their skills by undertaking a research project which makes extensive use of historical evidence.
The Mark Flinn Award is worth £500.
You should be able to demonstrate that you have the potential for further development in your research, explain how a £500 Mark Flinn Award would benefit and support your research, and outline the sources you will be able to access if you are awarded the scholarship
Eligibility
Any student who is currently enrolled on a full-time programme at Edge Hill is eligible to be considered for this award in academic year 2023/24, excluding students on courses of one-year or less in duration and those in the final year of courses which are longer than one year.
Please note, it is not possible to receive multiple scholarships in recognition of the same achievement. If you have previously been awarded a scholarship by Edge Hill University, a different achievement must be outlined in any applications for the Mark Flinn Award.
