Travel and research grants at the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies (CTR)

Application

The application form is available in the application system for scholarships and grants.

The application is to include a brief but precise statement of the purpose of the trip and its significance for the applicant’s research. Research students are to attach a certificate from their supervisor. Please note that it isn’t possible to apply for funding for more than one purpose in each application which means that one application per purpose needs to be submitted.

Applicants who, up to and including the spring semester 2021, were awarded a scholarship announced as a travel and research grant at the CTR, and have not submitted a statement on the use of the scholarship, will as a rule not be considered for a new allocation of these scholarships until a statement has been submitted. For instructions on how to submit a statement, see the decision on scholarship allocation.

Decision

The decision on allocation of funds is taken by the board of the Faculties of Humanities and Theology unless otherwise indicated for the relevant foundation.

Payment

Payments to employees of Lund University are made to the applicant’s department. Where applicable, the application should take account of the department’s additional overhead costs. It is appropriate to include these under the heading “other costs”. In such cases, the costs stated in the application are to exclude VAT.

In cases where, according to the statutes of the foundation, grants can also be awarded to activities outside Lund University or to students, and such applications are approved, payment is made to a private bank account or equivalent. In this case, the costs stated in the application are to include VAT.

If the funds have not been used for the purpose for which they were allocated within the timeframe decided, they are to be repaid.
