The University of Reading has agreed to provide funding of up to £250,000 for the provision of financial awards under the Centenary Project Grant Scheme, which can be applied for by employees, students or alumni of the University of Reading.
Employees are defined as anyone with a substantive employment contract at the University of Reading, regardless of grade or role as of the date of the application deadline and includes those on fixed term contracts.
Students are defined as anyone studying at undergraduate or postgraduate levels, regardless of subject or length of course at the time of the application process.
Alumni are defined as graduates of the University of Reading working with either an employee or student of the University as defined above.
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.
