Travel Grants

CR Travel Grants are designed to help students with travel related to their academic work or personal development (including charity work).

JCR Travel Grants are distributed once a term. To apply, students must fill in an application form and make a short presentation in a JCR meeting. The JCR will then vote on whether to award the student a travel grant. The deadline for applying is usually the third or fourth JCR meeting of each term.

More information about the JCR Travel Grants can be found in Appendix F of the Constitution.

Blues Funding

The JCR Blues Fund is designed to help students pay for the costs of representing the university in a sport.
JCR Blues Funds are distributed once a term. To apply, students must fill in an application form and return it to the JCR Treasurer. The deadline for applying is usually 6th or 7th week of every term.

In order that the Blues Fund is distributed in the fairest and most transparent way possible, the Blues Expenses Policy has been drawn up to set the priorities for allocating the fund. Students should set out their expenses in the following manner:

Category One Expenses: Subscriptions to the Club, Entry fees for the Varsity Match
Category Two Expenses: Costs directly related to training – excludes kit, travel, and accommodation.
Category Three Expenses: Travel and accommodation costs directly related to the Varsity Match.
Category Four Expenses: Kit costs directly related to the Varsity Match.
Category Five Expenses: Travel and Accommodation related to training and associated events.
Category Six Expenses: Kit costs related to training and associated events.
