The Laura Bassi Scholarship 2025, hosted by the University of Graz in Austria, is an exceptional opportunity for Master’s and PhD students, as well as early-career researchers, who are working on underrepresented or interdisciplinary topics. Rather than providing direct cash payments, this scholarship offers valuable editorial assistance to help refine academic manuscripts, theses, or journal articles, enhancing their readiness for publication.
Established in 2018, the scholarship seeks to support scholars tackling neglected subject areas that often struggle to receive mainstream academic funding. Offered three times a year—in spring, summer, and winter—this program is inclusive of all nationalities and academic disciplines. If you are currently enrolled in a postgraduate program or within five years of full-time academic employment, this scholarship could be a vital tool to elevate the impact of your research.
