The Managers give notice that they intend to proceed to the election of one or more C. T. Taylor Studentships, to be tenable from 1 October 2009, by persons who are not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom who are either registered or about to become registered as Graduate Students in the University. The awards will provide part-cost support for courses of advanced study or research in science, including engineering, mathematics, geography, and land economy, but excluding medical research.
If two or more candidates are equally well qualified, preference will be given to candidates from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the United States of America. Awards may be for periods of one year or more, provided that Studentships may not normally be held for more than three years in all. The Managers hope to be able to make one award of up to £5,000 a year to a student who is not currently in residence, as well as a number of smaller awards.
Awards are normally only made to students who have already commenced a course where a material and unforeseen change of circumstance can be demonstrated
Application forms will be available from the Registrary (addressed to the Awards Clerk), The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN, and should be returned to the Registrary by 31 July 2009.
All candidates applying for a Studentship should provide the referees whose names appear in their applications with copies of a prescribed reference sheet available from the Registrary and ask referees to send references direct to the Registrary by the closing date.
