The expectation is that the research project will gather preliminary data and lead to the development of a research council funding application.
The award is made on the basis of both academic merit and financial need.
Applications are open from 1 July to 30 December every year. The grant will be awarded on 1 March the following year.

GRADUATE WOMEN INTERNATIONAL ADDRESSES THE UNITED NATIONS
On 14 June, Graduate Women International (GWI) addressed the 35th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC) with an oral statement delivered by Executive Director, Stacy Dry Lara. In the statement, GWI rebukes corruption on the grounds that corruption impedes States’ accountability and gender obligation to education; appeals to States to embrace that educating girls matters and that they recognise that corruption undermines education resources available for women and girls. GWI also called on States to institute sanctions and establish complaint processes to ensure States’ accountability. GWI endorsed the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights report on the Realisation of the Equal Enjoyment of the Right to Education by Every Girl. The statement is available to view here.
