Applications are invited from science and medical students (in the Schools of the Biological Sciences, the Physical Sciences, Technology, and Clinical Medicine), who will be continuing academic study in Cambridge in October 2006, for bursaries to attend language courses in another country (up to four weeks in duration) in the Long Vacation Term. Information about courses and institutions abroad is available from the Language Centre's advising team.
The bursary will be in the region of £300 to £600, according to the nature of the course and the country concerned, contributing towards fees, travel, and subsistence. Applications should outline the reason for the proposed course of study, giving details of the selected institution and course structure to be followed, and a breakdown of fees, travel, and subsistence costs, with documentary evidence where possible of these costs. Contributions towards these costs from other sources, and details of any other applications and of grants already received, should also be stated. The recommendation of a tutor or supervisor ONLY will be accepted.
Application forms are available from Mrs C. Danson, the Language Centre, Downing Place, Cambridge, CB2 3EL (tel. 01223 763497, e-mail cd211@cam.ac.uk), to whom they should be submitted (four copies) by 31 March 2006.
On notification, successful applicants will be sent a template on which to write a report following completion of the course. A percentage of the bursary may be retained until the report and a certificate, to prove attendance, is received by Mrs Danson. This must be received before the end of November 2006, unless otherwise agreed, or the recipient will be required to repay the bursary in full. A prize of £100 will be awarded for the best report submitted, which will be published on the Language Centre's Web page.
