NEW for 2021-2022 - Turing Scheme
You may have read in Essex Weekly that we’ve been awarded Turing Scheme funding to support students during their time abroad for 2021-2022 academic year.
Turing Scheme funding can be accessed by students who are taking part in shorter term (minimum 14 days) activities including summer schools, international internships and volunteering abroad. Please note we have limited funding and students will need to apply for the funding and are advised to read the eligibility criteria below before submitting their application.
Turing Scheme funding is considered a general contribution to cost of living and travel costs, therefore students should budget accordingly based on their destination and duration of their programme. We hope that this funding can help to provide life changing opportunities to students and additional support is available for students from a disadvantaged background.
The Turing Scheme is new funding for 2021-2022 and it is not clear what will be available beyond this academic year, but do check back here for any updates. The minimum duration that will be funded in future years is likely to be 28 days (four weeks)
There are no maximum number of placements a single student can undertake. Therefore you can apply for funding for a summer abroad programme as well as being eligible for study abroad year funding or future summer programme funding. In this case, the durations of the placements must not overlap (as this would result in dual funding). If you have any queries on this please contact us.
