The Design History Society has a bursary fund to assist DHS Student and/or precariously employed members (The latter group includes independent scholars, unpaid post-doctoral fellowships, associate lecturers, and lecturers working on less than 0.5 full time equivalent (FTE) contracts) whose papers have been accepted for presentation at our annual conference.

We also wish to remind our applicants that;

- the DHS is committed to supporting equalities and therefore invites applicants to reflect on and state clearly how their proposed projects address inequalities.

- the DHS is also committed to addressing sustainability issues and invites applicants to state how their project has been shaped with an environmentally-conscious approach (in relation to travel, participation and use of resources).
