The Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentship Awards
Funded by Routledge, the publishers of The Round Table, the Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentship Awards provide support for research projects on Commonwealth-related themes in the humanities and social sciences by students registered for a PhD/DPhil in any Association of Commonwealth Universities member university. Two studentships are available each year – one for students registered at UK universities and one for students registered at universities in other Commonwealth countries – and are each worth £5,500 (with an additional £500 to an academic mentor from another Commonwealth country). A new round of awards will be announced in early May, with a deadline for applications of the end of July.

The Peter Lyon Prize
This is an annual prize by Routledge, the publishers of The Round Table, for the best policy-oriented article on a theme of significance for the contemporary Commonwealth published in the journal each calendar year. The prize, which carries a value of £1,000 Sterling, is awarded retrospectively at the discretion of the editor, with advice both from the publishers and from the journal’s editorial and international advisory boards. The prize has been instituted in memory of Peter Lyon (1934-2010), who was Reader in International Relations at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, and Editor of The Round Table from 1983 to 2004.
