You may apply for the scholarship while you are doing your PhD, that is, if you have already started your studies. If this is the case, you must provide the Committee with progress updates and a separate written report of about 20,000 words in print and electronic form, within 18 months after commencement of the project.
You may use the information in the report in your thesis and the Committee would expect you to acknowledge the CHS Scholarship in your thesis and in any publications and presentations coming from the research done with the CHS Scholarship funds.
