The University of Reading has earmarked funding of up to £250,000 for the provision of financial awards under the Centenary Project Grant Scheme. Funding can be applied for by employees, students or alumni of the University of Reading.
Who can apply
Employees. Anyone with a current employment contract at the University of Reading, regardless of grade or role, including those on fixed term contracts.
Students. Anyone currently studying at undergraduate or postgraduate levels, regardless of subject or length of course.
Alumni who are working with a current staff member or student to plan and deliver the project they’d like funding for.
Projects and activities supported
The awards are designed to mark and celebrate the University of Reading’s centenary anniversary by supporting projects or activities which will in some way:
- celebrate the University of Reading’s centenary anniversary with staff, students, alumni or members of our local community
- showcase our past, current and future impact. Increase the profile of our research, education or reputation locally, nationally or internationally.
- create a legacy which will benefit our community.
The emphasis of the Scheme is to provide one-off, smaller awards (in the region of £1,000 p.a.) but there is the capacity for larger awards to be made, where the Selection Panel feels a more significant sum will facilitate a larger activity or project, involving a greater number of people, with demonstrable value for money and significant impact.
