Student Development Scholarships

The Student Development Scholarships/Graduate Travel Scholarships provide financial support to enable students of the University of Birmingham to undertake worthwhile and original travel projects intended to further their personal or academic development. The awards aim to cover, or make a contribution towards the cost of a successful candidate's intended travel project. This may include accommodation costs, the cost of flights, insurance, VISA permit costs, inoculations, vaccinations and other medical requirements. The value of each award will vary depending on available funds and the estimated costs of an applicant's travel project. The scheme is open to full-time registered students undertaking worthwhile and original vacation projects (in the UK or abroad), which do not constitute an examinable part of their degree programme. The project or activity can be outside the applicant's own specific discipline, can be for academic or cultural purposes and should demonstrate originality and bring credit to the University.
