I’ve put together a list of funding sources for graduate students in biblical studies and early Christianity. Most of these are only available to students in the U.S. but many of them don’t have citizenship requirements. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm sorry you had to endure it! I used to live in York and it was a surprise when a TPE arrived on time! They're better now but definitely not going to win awards for arriving on time or at all.

Would definitely recommend Leeds airport! There's a good bus service and the taxis aren't too bad, especially if you find another medievalist to share with. Plus, you're not reliant on the TransPennine Express to M- a train so unreliable it got nationalised but still often gets delayed or cancelled.
