Fees are paid annually, maintenance payments for studentships are made quarterly
We set up Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG) accounts for all eligible students
We are the first point of contact for queries relating to studentships and RTSG accounts

4. RTSG (Research Training Support Grants)
Each eligible student will be given a subproject code at the start of their course and told how much they have been allocated, this can differ depending on your course and your funding.
Your supervisor will be the budget holder and will have to approve all orders for you.
You can spend your grant on:
Computer ‘uplift’ costs
Conference Travel
Summer Schools
Other small value consumables

5. RTSG (continued)
Any unspent money remains in your account until the end of your studentship (when a student submits), after which it is returned to the funder
