The Guardian (2017) "Help can come from strange places,” says Luke Blaxill, who published the alternative guide to postgraduate funding an invaluable resource for postgrads seeking grants. Blaxill, now a history lecturer, created the site after managing to raise almost £45,000 in small grants to go towards his PhD in the mid-2000s.
