The Allen McTernan Memorial Fund is to fund and support projects that broaden Students' experience.

Applications are open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students who will be continuing with their studies following the time the activity is being undertaken. Projects should be undertaken and a brief report submitted before the end of the next academic session. Grants are intended to support educational, scientific, cultural, and recreational activities of an extra-curricular nature but must not be directly related to University studies. Projects are especially welcome where the local community is involved or international co-operation is envisaged.. We will consider awarding a contribution of up to £1,000 per project and a number of smaller grants.

Completed application forms should be returned not later than Friday 18th November 2016 to Allen McTernan Memorial Fund, Scholarship Office, Room G.02, Lord Balerno Building, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh EH14 4AS. Awards will be announced by the end of November/beginning of December 2016.

Applicants are also requested to submit, along with this form, a statement from their Programme Director confirming that they are making satisfactory progress with their studies and that, after completion of their Project, they are expected to be continuing members of the University.

Are you expecting to be a continuing member of the University? / Yes / No
