Gap Year Scholarships
Each year gap scholarships are awarded to enable young geographers to have an overseas gap experience before university. This includes a grant of up to £4,000 plus expert support and mentoring to plan a worthwhile experience. These are aimed at students who would not otherwise be able to have such experiences.
The next round of applications is for students starting a gap year in summer 2011.
