Procedure for applying 

  • Complete application form (available online or from outside Principal’s Office)

If you apply for a grant from an outside body (College Secretary’s Noticeboard) you must indicate this on your application. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR APPLICATION IS COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO THE PRINCIPAL’S SECRETARY BEFORE THE DEADLINE

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.
