- Bartlett travel awards and scholarships
In previous years, The Bartlett Faculty Travel Awards and Scholarships have supported Bartlett undergraduate students to undertake independent travel to another country. This year, given the current Covid-19 travel restrictions, we will be funding students to submit creative contributions on their local area instead.
Students can respond to this prompt in any way they wish, and contributions could cover questions such as:
- What inspires you in your local area?
- How have you seen or experienced your local area differently as a result of this crisis?
- What have you noticed in the natural world around you?
Submissions can take any format, within the following guidelines:
Written – max. 500 words, typed in MS Word
Photo essays – photos in original high resolution, in JPEG or PDF
Films – shot in landscape and uploaded to YouTube or another hosting platform, or if you want to send a file, MPEG, MP4 and MOV are fine
Audio – MP3 or MP4 files
Please note, submissions may be published on The Bartlett's website or social channels. Please ensure that any individuals featured in your submission are aware of this, as they must have given their consent.
The awards are not intended to subsidise study related expenditure, or relate to a student’s programme of study or coursework.
We will reward each submission with £50, providing it is of a good standard.
Who can apply?
All undergraduate students registered on undergraduate programmes of study in the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment are eligible to apply.
Apply
Applicants should read the guidelines and send their submission, along with the application form cover letter, by email to: George Burridge (George.burridge@ucl.ac.uk). Deadline extended to 12 June.
