Travel Grant applications now open

The College is pleased to be able to offer up to thirty-five travel grants for applications received in advance of this year’s submission deadline. They will be awarded to undergraduates or graduates within fee-liability and/or on a compulsory year abroad but will not normally be awarded to those in their final year of study.

They are intended for travel that is not primarily related to the applicants’ academic work, and applications which involve charitable activities or that will demonstrably broaden the beneficiaries’ cultural horizons are welcome. Applications to undertake internships will be considered, where these internships are not directly related to a student’s course of study. Further details, and an application form, can be found attached.

Successful candidates are required to write a short account of their travels in Word format suitable for publication in the Wadham Gazette. If a grant is not thus accounted for, the College will require repayment. These grants are made possible by the generosity of former members of Wadham or other benefactors of the College.

The deadline for applications is 12pm on Friday of 10th week Hilary Term (21 March). Your application will form the main evidence for awarding grants. The panel are seeking well-articulated proposals, with a reasoned case for your travel plans and a detailed indication of costs. Applicants should nominate a college tutor, who will be asked for a reference. To apply, please email your application to:
