Hi, is someone able to help me with this tricky situation?
I am a first year self-funded PhD student in the UK and I would like to apply for funding for my next couple of years (I am on a 3 years course) but I am not sure where I can apply...
I have found many websites but they all say that they do not accept students applications, they accept only applications directly from supervisors or institutions!

Thanks,
Mary

What is your subject area Mary?

Your university/department should also be able to advise you on possible funding options.

I did what you're seeking to do by the way. I'm part-time, so it's a little different, but I self-funded my first year, applied to AHRC part way through, and won funding for the rest of my PhD.

Hi guys, thanks for your replies...
My project is in microbiology, so unfortunately AHRC (which I just checked) is not for me :-S
I have tried to talk to my supervisor about funding, but unfortunately he doesnt know how I could get it.
Last October, when I started, he didnt get any grant in his lab so i guess he thinks he cant get one for the same project for next year!
