Introduction to the Laura Bassi Scholarship 2024
The Laura Bassi Scholarship was established in 2018 with the primary objective of providing editorial assistance to postgraduate and junior academics who are actively engaged in research in underserved areas of study within their respective disciplines. The scholarship program is open to all disciplines, which means that any area of study can be considered for the scholarship. The scholarship is awarded three times per year, with the application deadlines being in December, April, and August.
The scholarship program covers the upper bracket of costs of editorial assistance for master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, and academic journal articles, respectively. Thus, if you are a postgraduate or junior academic, you can apply for editorial assistance for your research work, and the scholarship program will cover the cost of the service.
If you are currently enrolled as a master’s or doctoral candidate or have been employed full-time for five years or less as an academic, then you are eligible to apply for the Laura Bassi Scholarship. Moreover, there are no institutional, departmental, or national restrictions, which means that you can apply from any educational institution or country.
