In the DarkThe Hume Scholarship Scheme Returns…<a href="https://telescoper.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/john-and-pat-hume-scholarship-banner.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a>You may recall that I posted about<a href="https://telescoper.blog/2024/09/13/farewell-to-the-hume-doctoral-scholarships/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> the decision by the Management of Maynooth University to scrap the John and Pat Hume Doctoral Scholarships</a> and followed this up with another post suggesting <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2024/10/02/the-return-of-the-hume-doctoral-scholarships/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the decision might be reversed</a> and <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2024/11/12/save-the-hume-scholarships/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">another pointing out that it hadn’t been</a> and then another at the <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2025/03/02/term-goes-on/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">start of this month</a> (March) pointing out that the scheme was still “paused” for a “review” which was actually completed in January…Well, all of a sudden there was an announcement yesterday from On High to the effect that the Hume Doctoral Scholarships are back. When I say “back”, it’s not really accurate as the scheme has changed. In the past it was entirely applicant driven: prospective students had to apply with their own project proposals (usually developed with the help of a prospective supervisor). The new scheme is quite the opposite: prospective supervisors have to submit Expressions of Interest (EoIs), outlining possible PhD projects which are then advertised. Students then have to apply.You can find details of the new scheme <a href="https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/graduate-research-academy/john-pat-hume-doctoral-awards" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>, where it says:<blockquote>Established in honour of <a href="https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/study-maynooth/postgraduate-studies/fees-funding-scholarships/john-and-pat-hume-doctoral-awards/john-hume" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Hume</a>, an alumnus of Maynooth University, and in recognition of his important contribution to Ireland, the John & Pat Hume Doctoral Awards are offered across all disciplines at Maynooth University. </blockquote>No honour to Pat Hume, then.The investigator-led approach is probably OK for science and engineering disciplines, but does not reflect how postgraduate research happens in the arts and humanities. There will be considerable resentment in some quarters about the way this change has been effected.It is also worth mentioning that there are only 15 Hume Scholarships for the whole University; that’s just five per faculty. In the case of Science & Engineering that’s about 0.5 per Department. It will be a very competitive!Having sat on this issue for the best part of two months, the deadline given to supervisors to submit EoIs is next Wednesday, 19th March. The EOI submission form went live today, giving just a week’s notice (Monday 17th is a national holiday and the rest of next week is a Study Break at Maynooth). The management of this whole issue has been very poor indeed, but at least we have some PhD opportunities to advertise. Prospective students can apply from March 20th until April 17th. It’s still too late, of course, as many students will already have accepted places elsewhere. I don’t know what’s been going on behind the scenes, but this is no way to run a University.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/john-and-pat-hume-doctoral-scholarships/" target="_blank">#JohnAndPatHumeDoctoralScholarships</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/john-and-pat-hume-scholarships/" target="_blank">#JohnAndPatHumeScholarships</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/maynooth-university/" target="_blank">#MaynoothUniversity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/phd-funding/" target="_blank">#PhDFunding</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://telescoper.blog/tag/research/" target="_blank">#research</a>

JillianI’ve been spending all the spare time & energy I don’t have for the past months doing stipend research to compile a deep historical dive and context report on UNC’s graduate minimum stipend and related advocacy. Key takeaways: (1) it’s pretty much always been this bad but rent used to cost half as much. (2) most previous raises came via strategies now closed. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PhDFunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhDFunding</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AcademicMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicMastodon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GradSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GradSchool</a><a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3ca1a8705ac64093bcbdb622b7784892" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3ca1a8705ac64093bcbdb622b7784892</a>
