College Vacation Travel Grants
Applications may be made by undergraduate members of Bowland College for Travel Grants to undertake trips in the Summer Vacation. Awards are made for voluntary activities undertaken in the EU or abroad which will benefit a student’s academic studies. This might involve attending a course or conference, an academic project, a study visit or an expedition. Normally, the College cannot support compulsory elements in a degree scheme (e.g. a year abroad, a field course etc.) which are the responsibility of the academic department. The awards are usually between £50 and £150. A condition of all awards is that a written report of at least 500 words is submitted to the College Office within six months of the grant being awarded.
Application forms may be obtained from either the College Office or

College Grants & Loans
The College can provide direct financial assistance for Bowland students by means of emergency college loans and college welfare grants.
- Emergency College Loans. Students with modest and temporary financial problems can apply at any time to the College for an interest-free college loan of up to £100. These are expected to be repaid as soon as funding allows and by agreement with the Assistant Senior Advisor. You should think carefully before obtaining any loan. Application forms are available from the College Office.
- College Welfare Grants These are fairly small non-repayable cash grants to students who have suffered unforeseen exceptional financial difficulties which are not of their own making e.g. expenses concerned with illness, disability or accident. Applications may be made at any time by a letter sent to the College Office marked 'Welfare Grant Application'.
