From the British Science Association:
I am writing to let you know about the British Science Festival student bursary scheme which enables Universities to sponsor students to attend the largest annual public science event in Europe and experience the full week’s activities. The Festival provides an outstanding opportunity for students to broaden their horizons, meet leading scientists and speakers, engage in debate and discussion about the impact of science in society and enjoy the atmosphere of an event that is extensively covered in the media.
This year the Festival will take place in Bradford from 10th -15th September, hosted by the University of Bradford with events taking place on campus, at Bradford College and throughout the city. The theme for the 2011 Festival is 'Exploring new worlds' with all of the events featured tailored for non-specialists, as are the debates, exhibitions and social events - which form such an important part of the experience.
Institutions such as yours have the opportunity to sponsor students who are above the age of eighteen and are studying at any level to attend at a greatly reduced cost of £350. This price includes Festival registration, accommodation for seven nights and food for the week. Bursary order forms and information about the British Science Festival are available at www.britishscienceassociation.org/studentbursary. The deadline for applications is Friday 15th July 2011.
It would be great if you could pass the details of this scheme on to anyone you think might be interested in this scheme. I can send you some information to send to your students or send some posters to display around the University. Please let me know if you require anything.
For further details about the bursary package, or if you do not wish to be contacted in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me.
