糖心TV

Theatre and Perfromance Studies Postgraduate Annouchka Bayley is one of the 2014 winners of the 糖心TV Award for Teaching Excellence (PGR)

Applications are invited for 2014-15 bursaries of up to £1000 offered by the 糖心TV Retired Staff Association. The Bursaries aim to support creative and cultural extra-curricular activities by 糖心TV undergraduate or postgraduate students. In recent years we have supported a range of projects:

3^rd year Medical: Photographic exhibition based on project visit to Borneo

2 Postgraduate Medical Students: Article based on work experience in the ‘Empty Quarter‘ of Oman

3^rd year Theatre and Performance Studies: play dissemination

2^nd year English: Literature translation and performance

Postgraduate Applied Management: concert of operatic extracts

2^nd year English Literature: arts magazine

Postgraduate: multimedia Chinese-speaking website

Engineering students: erection of a screw water pump for the Allotment Society

Interested students are invited to send a single typed A4 sheet, outlining their proposed activity and indicating how a WRSA Bursary would be used to help them. Timing and costing should be provided, together with am indication of the extent to which the project would benefit the University and /or the wider community as well as the individual recipient. 

It is essential to include on the application: name, contact addresses (postal and e-mail), degree course, year of study, and, if appropriate, the name of a member of staff who could provide background comments on the proposal. Please note, charity applications are not eligible and previous awardees cannot reapply. Ideally, the WRSA wants to provide ‘pump-priming’ money: projects that have already attracted considerable funding will not be as favourably considered as those for which a grant from the WRSA might make all the difference.

Whoever you are, whatever your project, make a strong case and, who knows, you could be successful. Recipients will be expected to keep the WRSA Committee, through its Chair, informed about any performances, exhibitions, etc., directly related to the project. In addition, all recipients must agree to provide a report on their finished project, as these reports will be included in the WRSA Newsletter and will encourage its members to give awards in the future.

The closing date for application is Friday, 3^rd October 2014. Successful applicants will be informed as soon as possible after this date and an award presentation will be made at a small reception in the Atrium, University House later in the term.

Please send applications clearly marked ‘WRSA Bursary Application’ to:
