Candidates for the scholarships are asked to submit proposals that embrace the social
impact of Everton and its charity, or that seek to unearth untold stories and offer
new perspectives on the history of both the Club and its charity’s history.

 

As well as producing a dissertation of around 30,000 words, each scholar will also
write a 6,000-word chapter to be published in a new book exploring Everton’s social
history and its impact on the wider community.

 

The scholarships will be awarded following a competitive application process open
to anyone with a 2:1 undergraduate degree (BA) in History or History and another
subject – either achieved, or predicted if currently in final year university study.
Brief expressions of interest should be sent to Associate Professor Bryce Evans 
by Friday 4 September 2020, and more information is available on the [university’s site](https://www.hope.ac.uk/).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everton Chief Executive Officer Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale is currently 
Liverpool Hope University’s Visiting Professor in Sport at the Service of Humanity.

 

She said:

 

> “What the scholarships are offering is far more than a study of the game. It is
> an opportunity to truly understand what makes Everton ‘The People’s Club’, and
> offer new perspectives on football’s wider role in social history.
> “Over the last three decades, our charity has been delivering programmes that create positive
> socio-economic change and offer life-changing – and often life-saving – assistance
> for many participants. None more so than through our recent Blue Family campaign,
> the first initiative established by a Premier League club to support its community
> through the coronavirus pandemic.
> “We are also delighted to be helping two researchers in their careers by providing
> full-fee scholarships and the opportunity for publication.”

 

The scholarships form part of Liverpool Hope University’s partnership with Everton
Football Club, established in 2016, and will be overseen by Associate Professor 
Bryce Evans, a specialist in modern history based in the History and Politics department.

 

The recipients will undertake one taught methodologies module as part of the Liverpool
Hope History Masters programme, with the onus of the course on research and writing.
The scholarship will run from the commencement of MRes studies in September 2020
to September 2021.
