Hi all

I started a PhD last year and was fortunate to also be awarded some funding. After some bad experiences on my PhD, I have come to the point where I really do not want to continue it any longer and feel that a PhD isn't really for me. I don't want to get into the details as i've made this decision after a lot of thinking and advice-taking from close friends/family -- I'm sure you'll just get bored reading about it anyway!

Having been awarded funding for my PhD, I am unsure on what happens when I quit, do I have to pay the money back (that I received through funding) or...? I thought I would ask here first in case anyone else has thought about this before..

PS:I was very fortunate to receive the funding and I never took it for granted, so my deepest apologies to anyone who finds my decision offensive in any way.
