How to apply for a grant
Every year the Fondation Napoléon encourages the study of the First and Second Empires by awarding six research grants to six French or non-French students in the first year of their PhD (or MPhil intending to go on to PhD) on a First or Second Empire subject.
Each research grant is worth 7,500 Euros.
The grants are awarded by the jury of the Fondation Napoléon Grands Prix and Research Grants.
To compete, please fill in the following form, sending with it a 2-3 page description of your research project, proof of status, and a letter of recommendation from your director of studies. Dossiers should reach the Fondation by 30 September of the year in question.
