Queen Mary University of London Expeditions Fund 2011-12
The Expeditions Fund offers financial assistance to undergraduate or postgraduate students for expeditions they may wish to undertake during the summer vacation. Awards made are normally for a minimum of £250 and are granted on a case by case basis. An expedition can be any kind of purposeful travel or outdoor pursuit, as an individual or in a group, in the UK or abroad. It can be connected to your academic or personal interests but should not be a compulsory part of your course such as a Dental Elective. Last year awards helped students to travel to Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Madrid, and China and to carry out research in the USA, Singapore and Madagascar.
Applications will be considered at an Expeditions Fund committee meeting shortly after the closing date and successful applicants will be informed of the outcome in writing. The funds at the committee’s disposal are limited and awards are intended to contribute to, not cover, the cost of your trip. Payments will be made before travelling in the summer.
Successful applicants are asked to provide a written report of their travels, at least 2 pages of A4, within three months of returning from their trip.
Application forms can be collected from the Bursaries, Grants and Scholarships Office, CB2 in Queens Building, Mile End, tel: 020 7882 3086, e-mail: bursaries@qmul.ac.uk or downloaded from here :
