Loughborough College of Education Commemorative Awards
An annual award or awards to the total value of £800 are given to assist students in the Department English and Drama, Geography, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences and the Design School, to enable them to participate in extra-curricular educational activities.
The Amenities Fund of the former Loughborough College of Education was established for the benefit of students of that College. When the College amalgamated with the University it was resolved by the Amenities Committee to use the residual funds to establish a trust to commemorate the College by awarding annual prizes open to each of the Departments of the University which had previously been in the College of Education.
Deadline for nominations: 23 March 2012
John Guest Phillips Travelling Scholarship
Two annual travelling scholarships to the value of £500 each, or one annual travelling scholarship to the value of £1,000, may be awarded to registered full-time postgraduate research students. The purpose of the scholarships is to ensure that promising research students are given the opportunity to extend their knowledge of their subject, either within this country or overseas. Note: The scholarships will not normally be awarded to fund conference attendance.
The John Guest Phillips Travelling Scholarship was established in memory of Loughborough University of Technology's fourth Vice-Chancellor, Professor J G Phillips, who died in office in 1987. Professor Phillips had a special concern for young research workers who showed promise, and the Scholarship has been set up to provide financial support for travel for postgraduate research students at the University, a project which we feel Professor Phillips would have fully supported. The Scholarship is being supported by the John Guest Phillips Memorial Fund, which was established by Professor Phillips' family with the University as the beneficiary.
Deadline for nominations: 24 February 2012
Lilian Elizabeth Bowmaker Fund
A bursary is awarded annually to assist a student to attend the British Science Festival organised by the British Science Association or, failing that, a meeting of another learned society relevant to the academic interests of the bursar. The value of the Bursary is intended, normally, to cover the cost of the attendance at the Meeting.
Mrs Lilian Elizabeth Bowmaker bequeathed a fund in memory of her son a former student of Loughborough College of Technology to be used to help send one student per year to the annual BA Festival of Science.
