IPPS Mary Helliar International Travel Scholarship

As you may have read in a recent IPPS Newsletter we are launching a new travel scholarship which will combine the funds made available through our existing Mary Helliar Travel Scholarship with matched funding from IPPS International. This Scholarship will be awarded to IPPS members only. The scholarship is a great opportunity for members to both access funds, and the international network of IPPS membership to secure the best possible learning experience.

Who can apply?

  • Any IPPS GB&I Region member
  • How do I apply?

  • Download an application form from this website now! Download here.
  • All you will need to do is :
  • - State when and where you plan to go
    - What you plan to do on your trip
    - And provide an estimate of costs for the trip

    It will be worthwhile discussing your plans with other IPPS members to get some advice as to the best region to visit, time of year and if they can recommend possible contacts to achieve the objective of your trip.

    When should I apply?

  • Any time, but well ahead of travel
  • If my application is successful, how do I make contact with IPPS members overseas?

  • Contact the IPPS GB&I Mary Helliar International Travel Scholarship co-ordinator Peter MacDonald by emailing peter.macdonald@sac.ac.uk who will help you make the initial contacts with IPPS members in the Region you are visiting.
  • A condition of the award is to prepare a report of your study trip and you will also be invited to present a poster or paper at an annual GB&I Conference.
