Warwick Retired Staff Association Bursaries
A sum of £800 will be available and a maximum of two awards, not necessarily of equal value, will be offered to the chosen applicants. In recent years we have supported a range of projects:
2nd year Engineering: trumpet
1st year Law: singer
3rd year Theatre and Performance Studies: play dissemination
2nd year English: Literature translation and performance
Postgraduate Applied Management: concert of operatic extracts
2nd year English Literature: arts magazine
Postgraduate: multimedia Chinese speaking website
Erection of a screw water pump for the Allotment Society by Engineering students
Interested students are invited to send a single typed A4 sheet, outlining their proposed activity and indicating how a WRSA Bursary would be used to help them. Timing and costing should be provided, together with an indication of the extent to which the project would benefit the University and/or the wider community as well as the individual recipient.
It is essential to include on the application: name, contact addresses (postal and email), degree course, year of study, and, if appropriate, the name of a member of staff who could provide background comments on the proposal. Please note, charity applications are not eligible and previous successful WRSA Bursary recipients cannot re-apply. Ideally, the WRSA wants to provide ‘pump-priming’ money; projects that have already attracted considerable funding will not be as favourably considered as those for which a grant from the WRSA might make all the difference.
Whoever you are, whatever your project, make a strong case and, who knows, you could be successful. Recipients will be expected to provide the WRSA Committee with regular progress reports and to inform them of any performances, exhibitions etc. directly related to the project.
The closing date for applications is Friday 5th October 2012. Successful applicants will be informed as soon as possible after this date and an award presentation will be made at a small reception in the Atrium University House later in the term.
Please send applications clearly marked ‘WRSA Bursary Application’ to:
Suzanne Keene, Hon. Sec. Warwick Retired Staff Association,
Human Resources, University House, Coventry CV4 8UW

Emergency and Support Links
For emergencies or urgent safety concerns, please contact the University 24-hour Community Safety line: +44 (0)2476 522083. Community Safety operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In the event of an emergency on campus requiring ambulance, police or fire brigade, call 22222 from an internal telephone. If you are on campus and you use a mobile to call for an emergency service (999), you should also then call 024 76 5 22222. This alerts the University Community Safety team and will enable the emergency vehicle to be speedily escorted to where it is required on the campus.
If you're struggling but it's not an emergency, please contact Wellbeing.
