studentships
Graduate financial awards
Studentships are financial awards supporting students pursuing advanced study or research, particularly at the graduate level in British universities.
Unlike loans, studentships typically don't require repayment.
They often cover tuition and provide a living stipend: She was awarded a doctoral studentship in chemistry.
The term is more common in British than American academic contexts.
