Grants are given to Burmese nationals who are normally resident in Burma/Myanmar and who intend to return to Burma at the end of their studies. Awards are given to Burmese students studying in British higher education institutions. They are intended as supplements to other sources of funding and are applicable to a wide range of disciplines in the arts, humanities, science and technology.
Criteria for Awards - Information for Students
The Trust can provide help to student from Burma/Myanmar who are studying at either under or post-graduate level at a recognised British educational institution. Applicants must be citizens of Burma/Myanmar and normally resident there.
There is no formal application form but applicants must provide the following information:
* Details of their permanent address in Burma together with biographical details and a note on their intended career
* Details of their course or research project and a realistic estimate of its completion date
* Full details of their current financial position and of any awards that they have received from other sources
*Details of all other applications that have been made for financial assistance, both in the UK and elsewhere
*The name and address of their academic supervisor
Trustees will consider applications primarily on the grounds of academic merit. The Trust has modest funds at its disposal and cannot act as a source of primary funding. Support can be either towards fees or maintenance costs.
Please note that in normal circumstances, the Trust does not give grants to students already in receipt of full awards from any national or international agency. It will only consider requests from students originally funded in such a manner when the original award has expired and if there are exceptional circumstances. The Trust cannot make retrospective grants or pay debts.
Students who think that they are eligible should apply to the Secretary by letter or email giving the details as requested above. Applications for grants are considered at 6 monthly intervals, in June and December. All grants are given at the discretion of the Trustees whose decision is final.
