Mrs Bessie Rook Memorial Travel Scholarship

The Mrs Bessie Rook Memorial Scholarships are awarded to students who will be studying abroad in German and/or French speaking countries.

These scholarships support both undergraduate and postgraduate students intending to spend at least 6 months travelling and residing in a German and/or French speaking country. Applications are not restricted to students studying within the Department of Modern Languages, but applicants must demonstrate adequate knowledge of the language of the country they propose to visit. Students must not be nationals of the country they propose to visit. The scholarship honors Mrs Bessie Rook's legacy and encourages international educational experiences in French and German-speaking regions.
