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.
Apply
The next round of applications for gap scholarships will be for students finishing their A levels in summer 2013. For more information download the guidance notes and frequently asked questions (FAQs):
