The review panel will use the information you submit in this application form to make a decision on whether or not to support your proposed project. Please include as much detail as possible so the panel can understand what you wish to do, how you are going to do it, and why. It is also an opportunity for you to flesh out your ideas and create a plan of action.

All applications are reviewed by a review panel made up of staff and students. Please use language that can be understood by people from across the university (i.e. if you use discipline-specific terminology, please explain it).

Please make sure you have read all the information on the fund webpageLink opens in a new window as the panel is unable to fund projects which do not meet the criteria.

The suggested word counts are intended to be helpful and not restrictive or onerous. You are welcome to write more or less than suggested. (However, please be aware that Formsbuilder imposes an automatic limit of 4000 characters per box.)

Please note that some questions are specific to the project type you are applying to do. E.g., you should only answer one of 4a, 4b and 4c.

The deadline for submitting your application is midday on Thursday 7th November 2024. The form will close at 12.00 midday and then your submission will be sent to the review panel.

From August 2023 we will be operating a 2 strike policy for no shows at our externally led masterclasses. If you book a masterclass and do not attend without cancelling your place 7 days in advance you will receive a strike. After 2 strikes we will no longer allow you to book for our masterclasses, and you will be barred from applying to this fund until the following academic year.
