BUNAC scholarships for postgraduate study in the USA or Canada
BUNAC is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the BUNAC Educational Scholarship Trust (BEST) Scholarships
The BEST scholarships are open to UK passport holders who are currently or, have been within the last five years inclusive, in full–time tertiary education at a UK university or college and who are planning to undertake postgraduate study in either the USA or Canada.
Up to eight scholarships are awarded each year from a fund of $50,000. The individual amounts awarded vary but a typical award is in the region of approximately $5000–$10,000. The sum of $4,000 is available as the Christopher J. Harbour Memorial Scholarship to a candidate looking to do sports–related studies and $2,000 as the John S. Ball Award to a candidate looking to pursue a teaching or geography–related career. At the judging stage, preference is given to those whose proposed study in North America is likely to do most to further transatlantic understanding or to those who are required to go to the US or Canada to do a specific course.
The closing date for applications is Friday 12th March 2010. Short–listed applicants will be invited to London for an interview in June.
