Travel and Vacation Study GrantsUniversity and Departmental AwardsVacation Study Grants College AwardsMurray Edwards College - Travel Exhibitions University and Departmental AwardsVacation Study GrantsVacation Study Grants are available to help with the costs of certain courses or field-work organised by Departments and Faculties, or for travel deemed necessary for the particular course being followed. The University publishes a Vacation Study Grant Pink List each year which identifies the activities which fall within the scheme, by Faculty/Department. Please check this document carefully to see if your Faculty/Department provides funds for vacation study. Donald Robertson Travel FundThis fund, in memory of the late C.D. Robertson, Fellow of Trinity College, exists for the purpose of assisting those who would otherwise find difficulty in doing so to take strenuous open-air holidays, either at home or abroad, preferably in mountainous regions. Application forms are normally available from Trinity College Porters' Lodge, from February. Applications must be submitted to the Trustees by the end of April. Bartle Frere Exhibitions, Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund, and Worts Travelling Scholars FundFor information on these awards, please go to the University Reporter. The University Reporter: Awards editionA number of travel awards (including the Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund and the Worts Travelling Scholars Fund) are advertised in the 'Awards, Funds, Studentships and Prizes' special issue of The Reporter each November. This is available in the Library and can also be found online College AwardsMurray Edwards College - Travel ExhibitionsA substantial number of Exhibitions are awarded each year to undergraduate students, ranging from £50 to about £150, dependent on location. Grants are awarded at the end of the Easter Term. The aim of these awards is to help students to broaden their experience, particulary those students who have not travelled widely before. Exhibitions will not be awarded to undergraduates wishing to visit anywhere to which the Foreign & Commonwealth Office advises against travel. Proposals will also not be considered for course-related travel or charity fund-raising events (such as a charity hitch-hike). All undergraduates are eligible to receive up to £150 worth of funding during their time in this College and recipients are expected to submit a report on their return. To apply, complete a Travel Exhibition application form. Copies of the form are also available from the Tutorial Office. Applicants will need to give details of the places to be visited, dates, estimated cost, personal financial resources and any other relevant facts (for example previous visits abroad). Please note that the following are essential:
The deadline for submitting applications is 18 May. Students must discuss their applications with their Tutors and ask them to sign the form before it is submitted. Final year students are eligible for Travel Exhibitions, but must intend to use the grant before the following October. Individual students are not likely to be awarded substantial sums on more than one occasion. Murray Edwards College - Panton Trust GrantsThe Panton Trust is a small registered charity which provides grants for projects associated with animals or wildlife throughout the world or the environment of the UK. The Trust provides sponsorship for student projects (graduate or undergraduate), with the support of their College. These should not be conventional laboratory research projects but normally expedition projects with serious animal/wildlife objectives (inside or outside the UK). The projects may be in any relevant field including (but not limited to) geography, botany, veterinary medicine, zoology or biology but, in all cases, they will have serious objectives.
