Drafting up an application for the Laura Bassi Scholarship which was established by Editing Press in 2018 with the aim of providing editorial assistance to postgraduates and junior academics whose research focuses on neglected topics of study, broadly construed, within their disciplines.
The scholarships are open to every discipline and are awarded three times per year: December, April, and August. The value of the scholarships are remitted through editorial assistance for a PhD at $2,500.
I do not think there is any cash involved, just the equivalent dollar value in the editing press assistance with getting my PhD thesis professionally edited.
Update - 11th July: Turns out both Sheila & Philippe had misread the application, thinking it was for $24,000 pa paid out as $8,000 three times a year. When I contacted them to discuss, the decision was made to not apply at this time as we cannot see any value in getting Editing Press involved in reviewing each of my articles that will constitute each of the key PhD chapters.
