Travel Scholarships 2023

Thanks to the generosity of Old Members of the College, a number of named travel scholarships are made available each year for Univ students. These are in addition to the various grants advertised by the Academic Office each term.

The following travel scholarships are now open for applications. The deadline for all applications is strictly 12 noon, on Friday 17 February 2023.

Current Univ students can apply for these scholarships via the Intranet.

David and Lois Sykes Scholarships

The David and Lois Sykes Scholarships for travel to China were established through the gift of Univ Old Member David Sykes (1963, Chemistry) and his wife Lois.

Two awards for travel in mainland China are generally awarded and are available to both undergraduates and graduates (other than Chinese nationals).

A selection of travel reports from those who have benefited from the David and Lois Sykes Scholarships can be explored via the gallery below:

Applications via the Intranet, Deadline: 12 noon, Friday 17 February.

Roger Short Scholarships

These scholarships, available to both undergraduates and graduates, are in memory of Roger Short, an Old Member killed in a terrorist attack in 2003. They are funded by the Roger Short Memorial Trust, set up in 2005 by his fellow students and friends, and finance travel to Turkey and neighbouring countries.

The Roger Short Memorial Fund Newsletters detail those students who have benefitted from the fund set up in Roger’s name; they can be read in this gallery below:
