Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding Gateway

Welcome to the Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding Online! The Alternative Guide (AGO) is a web resource for current and prospective postgraduate students (any subject, any nationality) who are looking to fund PhD, Masters, and PGCE study in the UK through grants from charities, trusts, and foundations!

This page - which your university may have linked you to - is our Gateway. You can logon to the Alternative Guide for free if your university subscribes to us. If it does, logon using the blue box below, or register for a personal username and password in the green box. If you are a student who needs help logging on, click here.

Remember, if you have won at least one award from an alternative funding source, you can also enter our annual Prize Draw which has a top prize of £500 and three prizes of £100!

Please see our Privacy Policy for further information on how we comply with GDPR for your personal data.
