The Modern Humanities Research Association provides financial support to the academic community in the following ways:
Research Associateships

Publications Fund
The MHRA invites applications for financial assistance towards the costs of publishing scholarly works in the field of the medieval and modern European literatures and languages (including English) which, by their nature, could not expect to be financially self-supporting.
