AWARDS BY OUTSIDE BODIES

Gilbert Murray Trust

The International Studies Committee of the Gilbert Murray Trust is offering up to ten Junior Awards each of £300 for 2002-03. This Committee promotes the study of the purposes and work of the United Nations. An applicant for an award must be studying, or have studied, international relations at an institution of higher education in the United Kingdom. International law is for the purposes of an award treated as an aspect of international relations.

An award is only given to support a specific project (such as a visit to the headquarters of an international organization, a research visit to a particular country, or a short course at an institution abroad) which will assist the applicant in his or her study of international affairs in relation to the purposes and work of the United Nations. It should be emphasized that the Junior Awards are not intended as general financial support for the study of international affairs.

An applicant for a Junior Award for 2002-03 should on 1 April 2002 be not more than twenty-five years of age, but applications will be considered from those who are above this age if they are able to put forward special reasons for their delayed education (such as ill health or lack of means).

Applications for a Junior Award for 2002-03 must be received by the Honorary Secretary of the International Studies Committee of the Gilbert Murray Trust, 5 Warnborough Road, Oxford, OX2 6HZ, not later than 1 April 2002.

Application should be by letter supported by the following documents:

(a) a brief curriculum vitae, including date of birth;

(b) a statement of career intentions;

(c) a description of the project for which the Award is sought, with an estimate of its total cost and the sources of additional funding, if required. Preference will be given to applications where the Award will cover all or the greater part of the project;

(d) an assessment by a person in a position to judge the applicant and his or her suitability for the Award;

(e) (where relevant) a statement of reasons for delayed education.

Applicants are requested to submit five copies of the letter of application and the supporting documentation, in typed form and on one side of the paper only.
