THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIES COMMITTEE of the Gilbert Murray Trust seeks to promote the study of the purposes and work of the United Nations with the help of travel scholarships, support for participation in UN-related short courses, conferences and summer schools, help for small personal research projects involving travel, supporting work with international organizations, and new initiatives in funding research which will at once benefit from and promote international collaboration.
Gilbert Murray UN Study Awards offered for 2024
1. The International Studies Committee of the Gilbert Murray Trust is offering up to 6 UN Study Awards of up to £1000 each for 2024. This Committee promotes the study of the purposes and work of the United Nations.
2. An applicant for an Award must be studying, or have studied, international relations at an institution of higher education in the United Kingdom. International relations is understood broadly and includes, for example, international law, security studies, peace studies, development studies, and global governance. However, it is essential that applications are relevant to the purposes and work of the United Nations.

An Award is only given to support a specific project (such as a research visit to the headquarters of an international organisation, or to a particular country, or a short course at an institution abroad) which will assist the applicant in his or her study of international relations. It should be emphasised that the UN Study Awards are not intended as general financial support for the study of international affairs.
