£2k award to help a student make a difference to humanity
The Ecumenical Chaplaincy Centre is offering students the opportunity to win either one award of £2,000 or two awards of £1,000 each (depending on applications received) to help fund a project of your choice which will make a difference to humanity.
The project or charity can be based anywhere in the world – in the UK or abroad.
Match-funding up to at least 50% of the award will be required. In other words the Chaplaincy is looking for the successful candidate/s to raise at least 50% of the costs themselves. So, if you win an award of £2,000 you will need to raise a further £1,000 yourself, or £500 if two awards of £1000 are made.
Full terms and conditions plus application forms are available from the Chaplaincy Centre or can be downloaded from the Chaplaincy website.
