Questions students ask

Who counts as early-career for these fellowships?

Most funders mean researchers within a few years of finishing a PhD, but the window differs by scheme. Each record links the funder's own eligibility page; check it before you invest time in an application.

How often is this page updated?

New calls are added through the week, and every record carries the date it was last verified on the funding organisation's own website. Records whose deadlines pass are closed automatically, so anything listed here was open at its last check.

Can I get deadline reminders?

Yes. The alerts box on this page sends a reminder before a deadline you choose, plus a short weekly note of new calls in your area. It is free.
