Description
The Huguenot Bursary is an annual award made by the Trustees of the French Huguenot Church of London Charitable Trust, on the advice of the Institute of Historical Research (IHR). It supports historians researching any aspect of French, Dutch, Flemish, or Walloon Protestant history from the 16th century to the present, without restriction to a particular geographical area.
The bursary enables a period of archival research leading to a publication or completion of a doctoral thesis. Applicants must show a clear connection between the proposed research and its intended outputs. Sharing the research is also part of the award: recipients must contribute a short piece to the IHR’s On History Blog and acknowledge the funding in resulting publications.
