This fund is now closed for the 2023/24 academic year. Applications to this fund should now be redirected to the St Chad’s College Student Support Fund.

The Academic Development Fund at St Chad’s College exists thanks to the generosity of our SCR members who are committed to supporting our students to thrive during their time at St Chad’s.  The Fund’s purpose is to further the academic ambitions of St Chad’s College students by supporting conference attendance, research visits, resource purchases or other activities which are broadly academic in nature. The fund is available to all fully-registered undergraduate and postgraduate students at St Chad’s College and applications are welcomed on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Applications to the fund will be considered by a panel coordinated by the SCR Grants Coordinator. For this reason, applicants to this fund must give permission for their application to be shared with the panel at the time of application. Awards typically range in value from £50 to £200 and the SCR welcomes applications from students who are creatively seeking to enhance their academic development beyond the direct requirements of their programme of study. Applicants may apply twice during the course of their undergraduate or postgraduate studies.

Applicants should complete the below application form and send this to the SCR Grants Coordinator, Jessica Holmes (jessicah338@gmail.com), and cc the Vice Principal, Dr Victoria Brown (victoria.h.brown@durham.ac.uk), into your submission.
