Funding and scholarships for students

Carolyn and Andrew Trevorrow Memorial Fund Travel Bursaries

A small number of travel bursaries are available to students of all degree programmes at the Penryn and Truro Campus to help with the costs of residential field courses (excluding research/dissertation trips). In the first instance, preference will be given to students who were born and who currently reside in Cornwall, and/or meet Widening Participation criteria. Depending on numbers of applications, others may also be considered.

The travel bursary can be used towards the costs of your field course, for example:

  • Travel, such as flights or train tickets
  • Accommodation whilst on the field course or on the days you’re travelling e.g. a hotel at Heathrow airport if you have an early morning flight
  • Visas
  • Vaccinations
  • Food whilst traveling and on the field course
  • Equipment needed for the field course
  • This list is not exhaustive and if there are other provisions you need to attend the field course, please detail them in your application

How to apply

Submit this application form to apply for the funding.

After the field course, successful applicants must submit a short written report (roughly 300 – 500 words) about the field course experience including photographs. These reports will be read by Ann Trevorrow to understand the impact her generous donation has had for the successful students.

Application deadline

Applications for the first part of the 2024/25 academic year are now closed. There will be another round of funding for the second part of 2024/25 which will open soon.

Funds will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The fund will close for applications when it has all been allocated.

Value of awards

There are 10 awards available of £150 each for the whole academic year. Each award can be used for 1 fieldtrip in the 2024/25 academic year.
