University Travel Awards

University travel awards are made annually from three funds: Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund, Sir Bartle Frere's Memorial Fund, and Worts Travelling Scholars Fund. Students are permitted one application to the Travel Awards, and the application will be assessed against all three funds to determine which is best suited for their needs. The Mary Euphrasia Mosley Fund provides awards for travel to Commonwealth countries (excluding the UK) for study or research and maintaining good relations. The Sir Bartle Frere's Memorial Fund supports study or research relating to Commonwealth countries (excluding the UK and Indian sub-continent countries). The Worts Travelling Scholars Fund supports investigations in countries outside Great Britain respecting religion, learning, law, politics, customs, manners, and rarities, or for geographical discovery or antiquarian or scientific research. Awards range from £200 to £1,000 and are made to students who can demonstrate in their application how they hope to further the purposes of the fund. Approximately 130 awards are made annually. Only current registered students of the University of Cambridge are eligible to apply. Retrospective applications for activities already undertaken are not permitted. Postgraduate students in receipt of full research council funding (or equivalent) should not normally expect to receive a grant from the Fund.
