General Information
Most travel funds are tied to certain conditions; confined to named subjects, certain destinations or to whether the travel is of academic relevance to your course. Selection is based on the following:
- Your Personal tutor’s recommendation, your academic performance and a clear battels account.
- Academic relevance to your course may affect the size of the grant received.
- Whether you have received an award in the past.
Further information about the various travel funds is available on the table outside the Principal’s Office.

Otherwise, a Centenary Bursary (£500) is awarded.

Graduate Research and Travel Grants at St Anne’s
Graduate Research and Travel Grants provide support for graduates (excluding Clinical Medics and Graduate Entry Medical students) going to a conference, preference is given to those students presenting a paper or poster. They also fund research trips to libraries and research institutes overseas.
There are three deadlines in each academic year at noon on Friday of Week 5 of every term. Look out for the email sent to all graduate students from the Academic Office at the start of each term. Within the email will be a link and you will be asked to complete an application online.
We aim to be as generous as we can but we advise you to seek additional/matching funds from your department or funding body. We usually offer up to £150 for travel within the UK, up to £350 for travel to Europe, and up to £700 for travel elsewhere.
Unsuccessful applications will automatically be passed to the MCR Academic Affairs Rep to be considered for an MCR funded travel/research grant.
