Funding and scholarships for students

Carolyn and Andrew Trevorrow Memorial Fund Travel Bursaries

A small number of travel bursaries are available to students of all degree programmes at the Penryn and Truro Campus to help with the costs of residential field courses (excluding research/dissertation trips). In the first instance, preference will be given to students who were born and who currently reside in Cornwall, and/or meet Widening Participation criteria. Depending on numbers of applications, others may also be considered.

The travel bursary can be used towards the costs of your field course, for example:

  • Travel, such as flights or train tickets
  • Accommodation whilst on the field course or on the days you’re travelling e.g. a hotel at Heathrow airport if you have an early morning flight
  • Visas
  • Vaccinations
  • Food whilst traveling and on the field course
  • Equipment needed for the field course
  • This list is not exhaustive and if there are other provisions you need to attend the field course, please detail them in your application

How to apply

Submit this application form to apply for the funding. 

Funds will be allocated on the basis of demonstrated need. Applicants are invited to describe how their financial circumstances may make it difficult for them to participate in the field course. Priority will be given to students for whom financial support would meaningfully reduce barriers to participation.

Conditions

After the field course, successful applicants must submit a short written report (roughly 300–500 words) about the field course experience including photographs. These reports will be shared with Ann Trevorrow to show the impact her generous donations have had for the successful students. If the report is not submitted, you will be required to return your bursary in full. 

Application deadline

Applications for the second part of the 2025/26 academic year are now open until the 10 March 2026. Please only submit your application if you are attending a field course between March and June 2026 which is part of your 2025/26 modules.

Value of awards

There are 10 awards available of £150 each for the whole academic year.
