Cash for exciting student projects!

The Lord Rootes Memorial Fund provides grants to Warwick students normally ranging from £100 to £3,000. The Fund is intended to encourage student enterprise and effort and to support projects by individual and groups of University of Warwick students, especially projects:

1. involving observation and the intelligent use of experience in the scientific, cultural, environmental or business context; and/or
2. demonstrating creativity of thought and the development of an original and personal idea or objective.

A number of previous projects have involved travel abroad. The application deadline is 12 noon Thursday 14 January 2010.  A drop-in information session will be held on Wednesday 18 November 2009 from 4pm to 6pm in Students’ Union Meeting Room 4.  Further information about the Fund, the application process and eligibility for awards can be found at www.warwick.ac.uk/go/lordrootes .

The HRC announces a competition for 3 internal Doctoral Fellows.  Each Fellow will receive a research budget of £400 and a conference budget of £600 to organise a one-day interdisciplinary Post-Graduate Conference during the academic year 2010-2011.

This is a one-year Fellowship and is not renewable.  It is open to full-time and part-time students whose dissertations are being supervised in the Arts Faculty and Philosophy, including those holding other University and British Academy awards.  If you will have completed at least one, but not more than two full-time years (or part-time equivalent) of Doctoral research by 1 October 2010, you are eligible to apply.
