Student Travel Awards 2010
11 Nov 2009
Application deadline on 26 February 2010
Staff are being asked to draw students’ attention to the Student Travel Awards through which the University distributes approximately £25,000 per annum to help students undertake enterprising summer vacation projects throughout the world.
The funds are drawn from the Zochonis, H.E David and Koprowski endowments, all of which have sought to enable students to undertake projects which are in addition to their course requirements, but which may or may not be linked to their programme of study.
Proposed projects are considered in terms of the enterprise and originality of thought in their planning and execution. Many of the projects have brought benefits to communities in need; some have sought to provide answers to academic issues; all, though, are about broadening the student's personal outlook and experience. Many of the projects have been life enhancing experiences not possible without the support of the travel award. The awards rarely cover the full costs of a project, but can make a significant contribution; in 2009 over 40 awards were made.
Further details of the Awards criteria and application details can be found under Travel Awards at:
The closing date for the 2010 awards is 26 February 2010. All applications must be supported by a reference from an academic member of staff.
