Anglo-Spanish Society - UK and Spanish Citizens only (Potential Funding Opportunity)

Reference Number: U320

Key Award Information

The Society is a registered charity, whose objects are to promote friendship and understanding between residents of Britain and Spain through knowledge of each other's customs, institutions, history and way of life. It is a non-political organisation, and membership of the Society is open to people of any nationality who have an interest in and a love of Spain and her culture.

The Society’s aim is to provide support for a course or research project which would not be possible without this additional funding.

Funding

Grants can include allowances for research materials, travel, academic fees and where appropriate, accommodation. Each grant will be of the order of £3,000, with a likely maximum of £4,500 in special cases.

Eligibility

Applicants must be UK or Spanish nationals who are engaged in university studies (undergraduate or postgraduate, with a bias towards postgraduate) which have some connection with bilateral links and relationships between the United Kingdom and Spain in any field of academic interest.

Applicants may be undergraduates in their penultimate or final year, or be postgraduates or mature students seeking, for example, to extend existing qualifications or to carry forward research already initiated.

How to Apply

Students should already have been accepted at the University/Academy of their choice and be able to produce written
confirmation of this.

Applications - either direct or via an academic sponsor - should be made to the Grants Secretary of the Society info@anglospanishsociety.org and are to include:

i) a covering letter - including a brief outline of the proposed course/project and 

ii) an up-to-date CV, giving full academic and personal details, with particular reference to how their research or studies will further the friendship and understanding among the peoples of the United Kingdom and Spain through knowledge of each other’s customs, institutions, history and way of life.

Applications can be submitted at any time (in the first instance to the Grants Secretary) but the closing date for applications will be 20th January in the year for which the grant is sought. It is intended that the five main scholarships (one for each Principal Supporter) will be awarded in April at a reception at the Spanish Embassy in London which successful candidates will be expected to attend.
