The College, in part thanks to the generosity of alumni and other donors, offers a range of travel grants each year. Some are for travel to certain areas of the world, or for specific purposes, whilst others are available to all students.

These grants are intended for travel that is not exclusively related to the applicants’ academic work - for applications relating to research or field trips, or travel to a conference or summer school, please apply for an Academic-related Grant, see details above.

The College anticipates being in a position to advertise travel grants for the 2021-22 academic year in early Hilary Term 2022.
