The Perry Foundation is a UK-registered Charity with the objectives of promoting education and research connected with agriculture or food production for the benefit of the public.
Most of our income is allocated to funding postgraduate PhD studentships at UK universities intended to be of benefit to UK agriculture, but we also grant smaller awards for other relevant projects.
PhD projects relating to all aspects of UK agriculture including livestock, crops and horticulture will be considered.
However great emphasis is also placed on the selection of the student and this process will always include face to face interviews carried out by Trustee Directors of the Foundation.
Our expectation when awarding these research grants is that the student sees their professional future in the UK agricultural/horticultural or food industries.
