The Catherine Williamson Travel Scholarship

The Catherine Williamson Travel Scholarship was established in 1968 to help current and former residents of Willoughby Hall fund their studies abroad as part of their undergraduate degree.

If you are chosen for this award, you will receive a lump sum award before you leave for your time studying abroad. Once you have received the award, you don't have to pay it back after you graduate unless you don't travel.

Applications for the 2024/25 scholarship fund your travels in the following academic year (2025/26) will open in December 2024.
