Elective Sponsorship and Grants

These grants are awarded to undergraduate medicine or nursing students as a contribution towards living costs, or travel during an elective. Electives are short-term placements where medical students can learn by assisting in real healthcare situations. Although Occupational Health Assessment Ltd does not currently provide physical placements in occupational health settings for students, they do provide £250 grants for eligible students to participate in an elective in the UK or abroad. The grants are intended to contribute to travel and/or living costs during the elective. The awards are weighted towards those who can demonstrate they are (or have succeeded despite being) on lower incomes. The electives must already have been organised by the applicant and confirmation of the approval or participation must be provided as part of the application process.
