Good news in my inbox the other day, I’m going to receive a Vice-Chancellor’s award from the University of Cambridge (fees + stipend) for a PhD in History at Queens, Cambridge from Michaelmas 2015. I may still receive an AHRC award from Cambridge on top of that, apparently.
Several days before that, I was put forward to the second round of the AHRC competition at York.
Yay!

Hurrah! Well done Dr (to be) Dan! Excellent news.
Thank you! 😀 I’m still rather bowled over. Being paid to sit and think and write is a dream come true.
It’s the best. 🙂
Plus getting a scholarship to Cambridge boosts my ego a bit, especially after drowning in the pool at UG :o)
Did you really? How awful. Of course speaking as a Cambridge man, you can’t get better. You’ll love it I’m sure.
I have my home in Cambridge. Hopefully I’ll be back full time living there. It’s ace.
