The Maureen Crisp Young Scholars
Fund
The Maureen Crisp Young Scholars
Fund invites applications for funding from post-graduate scholars
intending to present an academic paper at an approved Byron
conference or a paper mainly on Byron at any other approved
conference in or outside the United Kingdom.
The student (irrespective of nationality)
should be studying at a University in the United Kingdom. Applications
may be submitted at any time and should include a CV and the
names of one, preferably two referees. An abstract of the paper
to be read will be required, and details of the conference including
its approximate total costs.
The candidate will be notified
as soon as possible whether they will be granted a fund or otherwise
but actual funding will only be provided once there is confirmation
that the candidate’s paper has been accepted.
In the event of the scholar being
unable to attend the conference for whatever reason after a
grant has be made, then the grant will be repayable in full
forthwith to the Maureen Crisp Young Scholars Fund.
An application for funding to the
trustees does not mean a grant will automatically be given.

such conferences.

The Elma Dangerfield Award
The Elma Dangerfield Award was
set up in 1986 by anonymous donors. Its aim is to identify and
reward scholarship for publication of new and original work
related to the life, works and times of the 6th Lord George
Gordon Noel Byron the Poet.
Books about his contemporaries
or family will not usually be considered unless they shed new
understanding relative to his thinking.
Published Doctoral dissertations
will not be considered, preferring to see the scholar continuing
with further Byron studies.
Books will be in English, however
one scholar in the past was rewarded for his contribution in
both Greek and English.
The prize is awarded annually and
announced at the Council meeting of the Annual International
Byron Conference, in which ever country that happens to be.
The final decision will be taken by the three International
Joint Presidents. More...
