Oh Bugger

Just received this e-mail

Dear Kris

 

I am pleased to inform you that SALL Board of Graduate Research is offering you a University doctoral bursary. Bursaries provide an award of £7,000 per year for three years. Bursary recipients will be required to carry out 80 hours support work a year within the School in the form of teaching, research support or as an International Ambassador.

 

Please note annual renewal of the bursary is subject to satisfactory progress of your PhD.

 

Please notify us as soon as possible and no later than 5^th May that you would wish to accept this offer. I would be grateful if you could email the Postgraduate Administrators to confirm this.

 

Oh bugger.

The good thing is that they liked my proposal and they believe it would make for an interesting project. However, in lieu of my last post, unless I can change my proposal, I am to all intensive purposes buggered. In addition to this, I will need to find a way to survive on £7000 a year including tuition fees. I'm chuffed though that I've been given something, its more than what I was expecting.
