Thanks to the generosity of alumni of the College and other donors, grants are awarded to enable undergraduates to pursue projects of an educational or non-academic nature both at home and abroad.

Awards are made by the Tutorial Committee on the recommendation of the Senior Tutor, with a maximum grant of £500 to any student during the course of an academic year.

The Student Opportunities Fund also supports a number of awards to enable undergraduates to travel during the vacations. Undergraduates should apply to the Travel Award Scheme in the usual way.

Applications for Christmas and Easter Vacations should only be for pursuing projects related to academic course or examination requirements at home and abroad. During the Long Vacation following graduation, awards are only available for projects related to a further course of study at Fitzwilliam College.

Submit your travel report.
