What We Do – Academic Grants

As part of its educational mission, the British Yemeni Society offers up to £1,000 annually to assist with academic study related to Yemen. Applications are invited from anyone carrying out research in, or on Yemen, at a university, preferably one that is based in Britain or Yemen.

Applicant’s nationality is irrelevant. Applications may be made to assist with study in any subject or field, so long as it is concerned with Yemen, and is for a specific qualification (e.g., BA, MA, PhD etc.). Post-Doctoral researchers may apply but will only be considered should no more junior applicant approach the Committee.

Since 2010 the Society has made available a total of more than £6,000 to scholars for a variety of studies on Yemen.

How to apply

Applicants should apply by email to the Secretary of the Society. Please provide:

•a 300-word abstract of the study

•a recommendation from the applicant’s supervisor.

•A brief CV.

The deadline for applications is 31 May. However, because of the variability in the number of applications received every year and current conditions in Yemen, anyone interested is encouraged to contact the Secretary in the first instance, even after the annual deadline.

Successful applicants will be required to make an acknowledgment of the grant in their thesis or dissertation. They will also be expected to make a presentation to the Society and/or contribute an article to the BYS Journal on the results of the research assisted by the grant.

If you require any further information or wish to discuss an application, please contact the Secretary.
