Everton are set to offer funding towards two scholarships at Liverpool Hope University based around the history of the club.
The two recipients will write a 30,000 word disseration with segments helping craft chapters of a new Everton history book.
Hope University have an already-standing partnership with Everton - working extensively on mental health issues - but a historical commemoration and heritage of the club will soon begin considering applicants to start a one-year course in September.
Both scholarships are described as 'demanding' and 'research-intensive' with emphasis on disciplined and self-directed work.
